I am so excited to share this graphite piece, which is the cover of "A Man Named Shuku." The book is available for free download!

From the Positions Press Website: "A Man Called Shuku illustrates the tenuous relationship between a Japanese vice governor and his Chinese translator during the former’s tenure in Japan-occupied Manchuria. Originally serialized in 1940—at the height of the Manchukuo regime—Ushijima Haruko’s narrative unveils the tensions and obscurities of the colonial encounter, casting doubt on the empire’s official proclamations of ethnic harmony in the region." Thank you to Akhil and Sunee for bringing this project together!
