This is the cover design for the October Special Number of the magazine Josei (女性), a women's magazine. Yamana is one of the key figures in early Japanese modern graphic design. His art style is characterized by its delicate linework and Art Deco style. He played a central role in shaping the visual identity of magazines and commercial advertising during the early Showa period. He is known for his close association with Shiseido and numerous iconic designs.
The cover features a delicate image of a woman, rendered with flowing lines. The font of the letters is unique and playful, which adds a cute and modern feel that matches the theme of the magazine.
