Night Tree 12th printing

About the productJapanese

The Japanese version of the Indian picture book The Night Life of Trees, which was highly acclaimed at the 2008 Bologna Book Fair and won the Ragazzi Prize (New Horizons category), was published by Tamrado in July 2012.

(The image shows the cover of the 12th printing. The cover design changes for each edition.)

This picture book, which has attracted attention around the world, depicts a mythical world revolving around trees, illustrated by three of the greatest Gond artists from Central India - Shyam, Bai and Uruvee.

Sacred trees that reveal their true nature at night. Trees that are feared and worshiped by people. Trees that are said to be home to gods. Such trees appear one after another in stunning beauty as you turn the pages. A world that is primitive yet sophisticated, delicate yet powerful and beautiful.

This is a groundbreaking picture book that is entirely handmade. Each page is silkscreen printed on handmade paper and bound by hand. Each book is carefully finished in a workshop on the outskirts of Chennai, India. This picture book is truly a work of art (with a serial number). It is a book that you will want to keep and look at forever.
