This techo cover features a drawing by printmaker and artist Makoto Matsubayashi, who is based in Kochi Prefecture.
Using crayons with bold, free-flowing strokes, Matsubayashi illustrated a large, blooming flower. The gentle wavering of the hand-drawn lines gives it a soft, inviting charm. The silver base color was chosen to reflect the feel of Matsubayashi’s original artwork, creating a balance of warmth and coolness in this striking cover design.
