Nakamura Fusetsu designed this cover for *Myojo* (Morning Star), a famous literary magazine that fueled Japan's romantic poetry boom in the early 1900s. The winged horse, Pegasus, wasn't just a random choice—it's the mythological symbol of poetic inspiration, perfectly fitting for a magazine dedicated to art and verse. The large circle above the horse is the magazine's logo, stylized to look almost like a face with square features peering down. This blend of Western mythology with Japanese graphic design captures the exciting cultural mix of the Meiji era.
