Samurai Go West! is written by the author of comic "Kodoku no Gourmet" (The Lonesome Gourmet). The concept was started in a chit chat among friends. "How about walking on bare feet from Tokyo to Osaka?" I would neither chase those popular shop, nor follow the information in the Internet. I will ramble like a wild samurai, carrying a ukelele instead of a sword. The unexpected journey should be more interesting.

野武士、一路向西!由孤獨的美食家原作者久住昌之著作。概念來自某日跟朋友閒聊著散步的主意:不依靠網路資訊或是執著于人氣名店,往目的的方向散步前往。像個流浪武士一般,用烏克麗麗代替武士刀上路,充滿不預期的過程反而更有趣。



The layout of book sleeve. The book is about short stories happened while walking by feet from Tokyo to Osaka. To correspond the idea, the map printed in dark yellow colour as background. The title typogaphy was really hand written with Chinese caligraphy brush.

書中記錄了作者由東京一路走到大阪的小趣事。為了呼應這個點子,書封有貫穿前後的東京到大阪行腳路線圖。

The design of inner cover. All the Japanese kanjis are the name of the places mentioned in the book. This cover is printed as duo-tone instead of CMYK inks.

內封上寫滿書中提及的東京到大阪的地名,並使用雙色印刷。
