Below the original images used to create the cover.

Front cover: man preparing scallops in his small mom and pop's "snakku baa" (snack bar). Photo taken in 2018 somewhere around Tokyo.

Back cover: one of the many "yakitori" (chicken skewers) eateries scattered all over the country. Many of these spaces are set up in the most absurd of locations, like this one stuck under the Shinkansen train tracks. Photo taken in 2016 in Shimbashi, Tokyo.
