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 — 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.
