Leed Publishing releases Sayuri Sasai’s first collected book in Japan November 13, gathering illustrated pieces about what people in the Edo period ate, wore and did for work. Sasai grew an audience for her sketches on social media, where she tackled questions such as what makeup people used and what their clothes

looked like. The first volume arranges 55 short pieces around people, objects and customs. Food, dress, labor and entertainment give the book several routes into the same period. The publisher lists the collection under its Ran Comics line. Official source. Image credit: Sayuri Sasai / Leed Publishing, official cover
