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。

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.
書衣設計:以灑脫的毛筆字展現日本氣息與野武士的灑脫氣概。書中作者由東京徒步走至大阪,因此把路線圖也橫跨前後印出來。底色用米黃色呈現輕鬆感,再用對比藍色的武士搭配出整體的現代感。

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.
封使用雙色印刷,把地名一口氣列出來。讀者有機會按圖索驥的話,不妨對照一番。

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.
