This cover redesign draws from Murakami’s Norwegian Wood an exploration of memory and the protagonist’s emotionally complex relationships with two contrasting women. Set in 1960s Tokyo, the design uses a retro color palette and period-inspired typography to reflect the era while maintaining a subdued, mature tone. The silhouetted and partially obscured female figure references the fragility of memory and emotional distance central to the novel, allowing the faceless figure to remain ambiguous and open to interpretation.
