Maiko Matsumura - I'm going to sleep today | New Edition [NEW]

This is a new 2025 edition of a picture book originally published privately by picture book author Matsumura Maiko in 2013.

Whether it's a good day or not, a personal, quiet sense of happiness spreads throughout me at times when the only thing I need to do next is sleep.
The cover is printed using a special process that uses foil, creating a constellation of sparkling lines that appear depending on the angle.
The hexagonal title sticker can be easily removed, making it a beautiful book to display.

(The following is from the publisher information)

"I'm going to sleep today," a privately published book by Matsumura Maiko in 2013,
This is a picture book that has been received and loved by many people for a long time.

"I'm going to sleep now." Now, a small door opens to allow you to get away from here for a while.
The time it takes to turn the pages is a great way to take a deep breath.
It touches the hearts of both small and grown-up people...

No matter what kind of day it was, the world after sleep is gentle and free.
You might even be able to meet that person you can no longer meet.

On bad days, lonely nights, and when your heart feels heavy,
Put your worries aside for now, and they will gently comfort you and quietly encourage you.

On sleepless nights, I say, "I'm going to bed now."
By softly chanting the magic words, you will travel back in time to another world.

When I close the book, I say, "I'm going to sleep now."
