Book Cover II
NORWEGIAN WOOD, HARUKI MURAKAMI
Toru, a quiet and preternaturally serious young college student in Tokyo, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend years before. Toru begins to adapt to campus life and the isolation he faces there, but Naoko finds the pressures and responsibilities of life unbearable. As she retreats further into her own world, Toru finds himself reaching out to others and drawn to a fiercely independent young woman.
Young, loneliness, sexually and heroic love were the key words that inspired me for the design.
To redesign the cover of The Norwegian Wood book I used a photo that I took especially for the occasion.
