My illustrations on the past five covers of mooi-mooi, a Japanese free magazine published four times a year in the Netherlands.
From delicious recipes with products found in Dutch supermarkets to a deep-dive into the Dutch health care system, mooi-mooi makes sure information useful for daily life in the Netherlands is accessible to the Japanese audience.
I remember picking up a copy for the first time four years ago at the Japanese embassy in The Hague as I waited in line when I moved here. Jittery from thinking about how I took this big step away from home, I grabbed the magazine in front of me with the words “オランダを楽しく暮らすフリーペーパー (Free magazine for a joyful life in the Netherlands)”. Little did I know I will draw for them 3 years later!
