“Yuko came to mind as soon as I started reading these stories. Her illustration style pairs perfectly with Lian Hearn’s writing because it blends traditional Japanese style with surrealism.”



Read a conversation between book designer and artist Yuko Shimizu and Alex Merto on the design of Lian Hearn’s The Tale of Shikanoko series!




@yukoshimizu‘s beautiful, fierce cover designs for The Tale of Shikanoko. Book 1, “Emperor of the Eight Islands” will be released in the US tomorrow!! Before 300 years before Otori. I hope you’ll begin these adventures with me.
