Outer Cover
The outer cover is made of plaster(gibs). Tofu is usually soft and fragile, that is probably why eating tofu became a metaphor of sexual harassment. So the idea is to produce a cover, that looks like tofu but really hard, when people touch it.
​
Women may considered to be nice and kind, but we could also be tough.
Book Cover
There are two layers of the cover. The layer under are covered with the words from the interviewees, which are also at the beginning of every chapter.The upper layer covers all of the words. It implies how these stories were covered and forgotten in our life. On the other hand it is also our real thoughts, which are never spoken out.
A cut is made on the cover and in the middle of the title “tofu eating”. It looks like a wound, but it is also a leak, through it people can see the truth. This cut may not be enough for us to read all the words, but it is the first step to reveal and it is a new beginning.

Editorial Design
Readability is the priority in our design procedure. The reason is that, the stories are considered more important than the design itself. So the style of the book is pretty simple in black and white.
In order to enrich the contents of the book and also to visualize the idea, we took some photos of Tofu and women, and put them in the book.
