Yumi Kitagishi is an illustrator gaining attention in Japan and beyond, and her work has been turned into a techo cover again this year. This 2026 version showcases the full charm of her drawings once more.
The world created by Kitagishi in acrylic gouache draws you in, quietly making you imagine the stories or settings behind each piece for a special kind of wonder. Both nostalgic and exciting, her illustrations perfectly capture the charm of a picture book. The theme for this techo cover is a “White Cat’s Daily Life,” and it is made out of a polyester material.
The day she placed a candle on a cake and celebrated. The day she dressed herself up with a ribbon. The day she enjoyed leisurely hanging out with her stuffed teddy. All of the wonderful moments the white cat experienced in her everyday life are recorded in a vivid memory board.
There is another illustration in the pocket on the back of the cover. You can see a glimpse of a white cat caught on film! Have a look inside to find out what else might be hidden.
