Les Contes du kimono d'or #[nn]

A golden moon rises over a serene pavilion reflected in still water, framing a graceful woman draped in a flowing kimono adorned with delicate floral patterns — the cover of Les Contes du Kimono d'Or sets a mood that is equal parts dreamlike and lush. Cherry blossoms drift through the air while crimson flowers anchor the foreground, giving the whole composition a painterly, almost mythic quality. Published in 2017 by Tapages Nocturnes, this French-language anthology promises tales steeped in the beauty and mystery of a richly imagined Japan.
