This is a fan book by Natsuhiko Kyogoku that has never been seen before, with visual and design as a starting point! Mr. Kyogoku's novels often depict things that cannot be seen, such as the appearance of yokai and chimimoryo, and mysterious events that cannot be explained by science or theory. How can the invisible world be taken into the cover that is the "face of the book"? It introduces a collection of covers from various Kyogoku books and includes comments from editors, designers and illustrators who tackled the issues. There are many variations such as illustrations, three dimensional shapes, classic paintings and comic touch. You can also compare the differences in how one work is shown when it is published in different editions, such as hardcover, ノベルズ, Bunko and Bunbobunko. In addition, Kyogoku's works are contrary to the image that is imagined from the thickness and unique wording, but in fact it is very readable. It also reveals the secret of "plate design" that brings about the readability. In addition to this, it introduces Kyogoku's works that have been visualized in various forms such as monster paintings and illustrations drawn by Mr. Kyogoku himself, scary picture books and comic rise works that have been tackled in recent years. It is a must-have for Kyogoku fans, and if you are interested in Kyogoku's works, please refer to it as an introductory guide.
