This cover was created with an embroidered work designed by embroidery artist and illustrator iyo okumi. okumi’s work features motifs such as animals, plants, and things that you can find in everyday life around you. The intricate embroidery is worked into fantastical and romantic designs that capture okumi’s unique worldview.

A bear and goose donning a noble-looking ruff are surrounded by a sleeping stuffed monkey, tropical trees and plants, coffee and cookies, a bat and some grapes, and also a crab, that is gently holding a letter so as not to accidentally cut into it with its shears. The whole scene showcases a cute and fable-like world.
