Looking at the jacket, everyone thinks the image is of an apple, but it’s a pear. The photo was taken after hollowing out the pear to the very edge of the skin and shining a light inside it. The photo is a pun with the phrase “The Pear of 21st Century” The project was done with much intensity by Makoto Saito. He had that kind of commitment to detail. We asked Makoto to do the poster as well. Working with him was very interesting. (Tanimura interview)
