Thank you to everyone who submitted their cover designs for the "2024 Information Search Start Book."
The English version to be published in October has been designed by Saki Kishine,
a student majoring in Graduate School of Applied Religious Studies in Death and Life Studies.

Thank you very much for selecting my design for the cover.
This is the first time my design has been seen in public, and I appreciate this opportunity.
I’ve been at Sophia University for years, and the library has always been my favorite place on campus.
It has quiet, calm atmosphere and a large collection of books, providing me with many opportunities to learn.

The concept of my design is “My World Expanded by the Library.”
The bookshelves depicted on the cover are based on the ones in our university library.
Among the many books lining these shelves, it is rare to encounter that truly speaks to me.
However, when I pick up and read the special book, I feel that it adds a new “color” to my world.
On the back cover, I expressed my wish of broadening my horizons by building on these new “colors” and, like a dove, someday soaring into the world.
