L'Homme qui marche #[nn]

Published by Casterman in 1995, this French edition of Jiro Taniguchi's L'Homme qui marche opens with a cover as quietly beautiful as the work itself — a solitary figure in a yellow jacket descends stone steps through a densely layered Japanese neighborhood, rooftops and lush greenery stretching in every direction. Taniguchi's draftsmanship transforms an everyday stroll into something meditative and deeply human, inviting readers to slow down and see the world anew.
