The book jacket appears calm and understated on the surface, while the dialogue beneath is charged with a quiet intensity. The cover uses typography alone to convey a sense of breadth and refined elegance, symbolizing a conversation that remains timeless and never fades. When the dust jacket is unfolded, it reveals a dense expanse of text, suggesting the surging undercurrent of an unending dialogue. The two speakers are represented as the book’s prologue and epilogue.
The inner cover features photographs taken by Hans in Kyoto and Nara, offering a microscopic and intimate perspective. The color palette is based on traditional Shiracha (white tea) paper, printed with silver and deep black ink. The silver references a passage from the book: “Compared with the warm yellow of gold, the bleak and cool quality of silver is more distinctly characteristic of Japan.”
