"I want them to know that futons are fun, that there's no world as wonderful as that."

D[di:] debuted in 2000 with "Fantastic Silent," which she illustrated and wrote while attending Tama Art University. Since then, her delicate illustrations, unique sense of rhythm, and lyrical writing have created a distinct world. She is an artist who garners attention for her diverse activities, including collaborations with various brands.

This is the picture book "Ofuton no Kuni" she has now released. Created for her nieces, who had trouble falling asleep, it is a bedtime story characterized by the charming expressions of the children and its pastel-colored illustrations.

Writer and illustrator D[di:]

Through the "futon tunnel," one reaches the "Land of Futons" beyond the night sky. There, a delightful time awaits with friends and pillow companions.—.

An event where D[di:] herself will read this story aloud will also be held on Sunday, February 9th, from 2:00 PM at Miraiya Shoten in Aeon Mall Makuhari New City.

D[di:] says, "I want them to know that futons are fun, that there's no world as wonderful as that." This fantastical world is different from her previous works. Why not rediscover the wondrous feeling of childhood, of stepping into a dream world just by closing your eyes, with "Ofuton no Kuni"?
