Tatsuro Kiuchi was commissioned by Kadokawa to create a series of whimsical illustrations for 'Book Travelers,' a monthly literature magazine.
Reading is a form of "travel" in and of itself. Book lovers are people who are able to defy the laws of physics and principals of time. Indeed, with a simple flip of a page, they're able to enter magical universes or specific moments in history. However, whereas real-life travel engages your senses, the type of "traveling" you do when you read tends to engage your imagination. Regardless, both are forms of escapism that are thoroughly explored in 'Book Travelers.'
If you're a book worm with a strong sense of wanderlust, you'll definitely enjoy browsing Kiuchi's playful images.
