Text / Illustrations by Moni.摸你
During my study abroad in Japan, my connection to the country deepened. Viewing Japan through my own lens, I used simple words to document the familiar yet unknown aspects of Japanese daily life for Taiwanese people. With a rustic touch, these observations were transformed into images that bring a knowing smile.
Book Highlights:
○ Uses simple language to truthfully and amusingly depict the peculiar encounters during my life in Japan.
○ Through lived experiences in Japan, readers gain insight into lesser-known aspects of Japanese daily culture via text and images.
○ Showcases a unique, tactile brushstroke and a warm illustration style.

But did you know their seat-grabbing is like a 🔥 battlefield 🔥?
You might accidentally get slide-tackled by another passenger and end up on their lap!!
