A never-before-seen Natsuhiko Kyogoku fan book with a wide variety of illustrations, three-dimensional forms, classical paintings, and comic touches, all with visuals and design as the starting point!

Kyogoku’s novels often depict “invisible things,” such as monsters and evil spirits of mountains and rivers, and mysterious events that cannot be explained by science or logic. How do you incorporate this invisible world into the cover, the “face of the book”? A collection of covers for various Kyogoku books is introduced, with comments from editors, designers, illustrators, and others who have tackled this challenge.

It also compares the different ways of presenting a single work when it is published in different editions, such as hardcover, novellas, paperback, and divided paperback editions. In addition, Kyogoku’s works are actually very easy to read, contrary to the image one might have of them due to their thickness and unique language. The exhibition also looks at the secret of the “plate design” that makes them so easy to read.
In addition, the book introduces Kyogoku’s works visualized in various forms, including his own drawings of yokai and illustrations, as well as the scary picture books and comic books that he has been working on in recent years.
