Yumi Kitagishi is a Japanese illustrator and picture book author whose hand-drawn worlds are populated by white cats, rabbits and other small animals going quietly about their lives. Her scenes reward a second look — there is always a detail you missed the first time. She has been part of the Hobonichi Artist Collection for several years running, and for 2027 her white cat and friends move into a village and a dollhouse.
A dollhouse of a cover: two Yumi Kitagishi artworks, playfully scattered with her familiar white cat and other charming animals, opening into a tea room you would happily visit. The long-awaited HON edition of a much-loved series.
HON is Hobonichi’s bound book, with the cover and the pages made as a single piece and nothing else needed. A5 is the roomier of the two sizes, with space on the page for a long entry or a pasted-in scrap, and the hardcover stays light and slightly flexible in the hand. Nothing about it asks to be handled carefully, which is rather the point of a book you write in every day.
