Hiroko Kubota paints in acrylic gouache, building expansive, gently surreal landscapes where people and animals go about small adventures. A quiet scene at first glance, hers are pictures that keep revealing incidents the longer you look. She has contributed to the Hobonichi Artist Collection for several years running.
Meadow grass sways in a gentle breeze beneath a sunset sky. A cat and a wolf talk to one another over a string telephone while a mouse rides its unicycle back and forth along the line, and above them the crescent moon slowly fills. It catches that nostalgic, unhurried kind of time you would happily let run on a little longer.
HON is Hobonichi's bound book — the cover and the pages are one piece, so there is no separate cover to buy and nothing to slip on. This is the compact A6, small enough to carry every day, and the hardcover is light with a little give, so it still bends. A good size for keeping close: on a desk, in a bag, open at the page you left it on.
