This is a picture book, and also a diary—a diary picture book sent to humanity by Ribobo.
When I created this little girl named Ribobo, it felt like quietly bending down to press my ear against the grassy fields of childhood.
That place where I once was a child, and still hold onto that childlike heart, was awakened.

Ribobo was born in the forest. She is not merely a child, but rather another version of myself that never grew up—sensitive, curious, mischievous, sometimes timid, sometimes courageous. Her world is not defined by societal frameworks; she possesses infinite possibilities and represents everyone’s longing for childhood and a natural state.

I designed a unique visual language for her: the mushroom cap atop her head serves as an emotional prop for interacting with the world.

May everyone discover themselves in each illustration, remembering the direction of their earliest joy.
