New Directions will be re-releasing Osamu Dazai’s books, No Longer Human and The Setting Sun, in October/November 2022. They will use the covers designed by Stefan Salter for the first editions of the books published in the 1960s, which feature art prints by Kiyoshi Saito.

I happen to own the first editions and they are two of of my favorite books design-wise. The cover art does such a great job representing their contents:

#Kiyoshi Saito #Osamu Dazai #Literature #I am VERY picky with buying books and will go out of the way to find which editions have the coolest covers #I only found out about this because I was wondering why online book stores were using the OG covers on their listings #sosaku hanga
