Hobonichi Cover On Cover [Yuka Hiiragi: Light In The Distance]

What is a Cover on Cover?
This is the decorated version of the Cover on Cover, an optional, extra covering that fits select Hobonichi Techo covers (for A5 and A6 size) to protect them from wear and tear while instantly giving solid-colour covers a fresh new look (not for use directly on book). 

Light in the Distance was designed by Yuka Hiiragi, whose wide range of work involves illustrations and writing, and isn’t confined within a specific genre.

The theme of this design is seasonal constellations. Illustrated in gentle, calm colors are various constellations, including Lepus (the hare) in the winter, Ursa Minor (the bear cub, also known as the Little Dipper) in the spring, Cygnus (the swan) in the summer, and Pegasus in the fall. Having a theme with the moon, stars, and sun printed in elegantly shiny copper ink gives this design a nice, mature feel.

In order to preserve the design of this illustrated Cover on Cover, there is no opening located in the back to access the back pocket of the cover.
