the translucence reveals the yellow printing on the reverse, mimicking the gentle look of beeswax.

CASE 01: PACHICA - Jacket for Kenichiro Mogi's "The Brain and Imagination" 2004

This is the first use of PACHICA for the jacket of a book.
For strength, over print varnish was used on the front jacket, and gloss polypropylene film on the back.
Etched metal dies are heated and stamped onto the paper, producing text that reveals the orange of the cover, as PACHICA becomes transparent under hot stamping.

Paper: PACHICA 1091 x 788 mm S/G 151gsm
Process: hot stamping + offset 1c (match color)
Design: Takashi Kuroda (Shinchosha)
