"These photographs were all taken at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany in October of 2009. The majority of these teenagers depicted are participating in Cosplay (an abbreviation of costume role-play). 'Cosplayers' wear (and the hardcore often manufacture) costumes and accessories to represent a specific manga (comic book), anime (animated film), computer game or other digital youth culture character. Sources for the Cosplay shown in this book include DeathNote, Full Metal Alchemist, Hetalia, Narato, Pokemon, and Sailormoon. The Frankfurt Bookfair (the largest and oldest book fair in the world) sponsors a Cosplay Contest and anyone wearing Cosplay gets into the fair free of charge. Some of the youth depicted are dressed in the style of Emo-Goth (Emotional - Gothic) a fashion sub-culture associated with a pastiche of post-Punk/New Wave/Glam Rock and post-Heavy Metal Goth styles. It is important to understand that this is not Cosplay."--Marshall Weber.

A multi-sensory work inspired by okonomiyaki, a fried pancake which is a staple of Japanese cuisine. Tawada's text explores misconceptions about Japanese culture, while Schäpers's illustrations present her interpretation of sauce patterns that are created by the various sauces which are traditionally poured on the pancake in preparation for eating. The two additional leaves contain Japanese calligraphy similar to signs hung outside restaurants in which okonomiyaki is served. Their paper portfolio emits an odor evocative of an okonomiyaki restaurant. Cf. Artist's description.
