“Goodbye” Book Jacket

A book jacket created for the unfinished story “Goodbye” by Osamu Dazai. The story is about a man who pays a beautiful woman (in appearance only) with money and (large amounts of) food to pretend to be his wife so that he can peacefully break up with his many girlfriends. (Note: The book jacket is “backwards” because the story is in Japanese.)
