Keiko Shibata: Gentle Breeze in a Dandelion Field / A5 Original Cover for Hobonichi Techo

Keiko Shibata’s unique artwork has now become Hobonichi Techo covers. “Gentle breeze in a dandelion field” is one of the works drawn in 2022 on the theme of “wind.”

The fluff is carried far away at night on the breeze that blows softly in the dandelion field. The bear and the cat are gazing enraptured at this beautiful scene.

The artwork is printed on a textured polyester fabric to bring out the warm touch of the oil pastel drawing. Each fluffy fluff is depicted all over onto the back of the cover. You will also notice the bear and the cat’s gaping open-mouth expressions.

The dandelion fluff fluttering in the night sky expands over the cover and the “butterfly-stopper” pen holders.

The card pockets in the inner cover also have the dandelion fluff in the night sky printed on them. The two bookmarks are white and light green, with charms reminiscent of dandelion flowers and fluff.

On the left side pocket, you will find Keiko Shibata’s autograph printed.
