Kinoko Bungaku Meisakusen （Book Design）
This is the first anthology that gathers together the best “mushroom novels” in the publishing industry. Kotaro Iizawa, who is a photo critic and a mushroom novel critic, selected 16 novels in which the most impressive mushrooms are described from among all Japanese novels that have ever been written. The mushrooms in the novels are red, white, yellow, hard, soft, small, coquettish, or cute. There is also a mushroom that dissolves overnight. The novels inspired by these attractive mushrooms are all unique. We aimed to create a book that gives a sense that fungal hyphae spread from each of the novels and transform the paper and text into mushrooms. I am grateful to Mr. Kotaro Iizawa, Mr./Ms. Inoue (editor), Mr. Satodate & Ms. Tsukinaga of MinatoNoHito (publisher), and Mr. Soma of Shinano Co., Ltd. They made the difficult specifications possible. I also want to thank Mio Matsuda (illustrator), who created many cute and unique pictures! (By Yoshioka)
I feel the quite same as described above! (By Sobue)
