Editorial design
The Tale of the Seasons is an editorial, conceptual and thematic exploration of Giacomo Puccini’s opera Madama Butterfly. Separated into four sections, each chapter of the opera book explores a specific season in relation to Japan’s cultural background and to the storyline.
The development of timeless design elements within the grid, image style and typography allowed each chapter to explore a plurality of distinct themes and motifs of Japanese culture while maintaining a cohesive structure, ultimately enabling the seamless fusion of the seasonal cultural backdrop and the opera’s touching story.
