The picture book Ohikosshi illustrated by 100%ORANGE is now available on a Hobonichi Techo Weeks.
Ohikkoshi was first released in the monthly magazine Ohanashi Pooka in 2007, and published as a picture book the following year. The squirrels all cross the bridge, go down the stairs and just when you think they all made their way across the street, they climb up the wire fence for a short rest...The sight of them all walking together, one after another, is somehow both delightful and refreshing.
The front cover showcases an arrangement of the original picture book cover. Various unique squirrels—one wearing a hat, another holding an apple and yet another holding an umbrella, among others—are placed in a grid made with markers in colors like red and light blue. While undoubtedly charming and adorable, this design’s graphical style also gives it a cool edge. The hardcover is made out of a sturdy yet flexible material and features a finely textured surface.
