ON THE COVER OF RYU MURAKAMI IN ITALY!!

Tokyo Soup
Probably one of the most exciting moment since I had started illustrating, my illustration has become the cover of Ryu Murakami‘s Tokyo Soup (English/Japanese title: in The Miso Soup) in Italy!! It is published from Mondadoriin paperback.I had read a lot of Ryu Murakami books when I lived in japan myself, and I had never even imagined that a day would come when I do his cover!

Ryu Murakami is one of the most respected contemporary writers from japan along with Haruki Murakami who is also one of my favorite writers (They are not related).

The book is beautifully designed with French flap, saffron color spine and emboss on the cover. If you are interested in purchasing you can get it online.
