Keiko Shibata: Dog Ears Fluttering in the Wind · Hobonichi Cover for A5 Fabric Cover

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

The illustration for “Dog Ears Fluttering in the Wind” was selected from the works of Keiko Shibata, a picture book artist and illustrator.

This piece is from a series of artworks drawn in 2022 with the theme of “wind.” A strong wind blows from the front, causing the dog’s ears to flap. You can enjoy the unique expression of the wind, making the dog’s eyes rounded and blowing the dog’s fur.

Although the design could look like a dot pattern from a distance, it actually features seven different dogs in a diagonal pattern.

The colorful design is expressed in a warm touch with oil pastels. The various colors used make it go well with techo covers in any color.

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.

Specially designed for the Colors series and printed covers!

The Cover on Cover has been specially measured for use on the Colors and printed covers with butterfly stoppers. Other covers may not fit properly into the Cover on Cover.
