Some Prefer Nettles

I had the honor of creating the cover art for a new English edition of Junichiro Tanizaki's 1929 classic, Some Prefer Nettles.

↑  This edition is part of Random House's new Modern Japanese Classics series. The entire line shares the same title treatment designed by John Gall.

↑  Bunraku, Japanese puppet theater, is central to the novel's theme.

 

↑ Unused sketches. ↓
