About the book

A calm cover for a practical guide

The title is the category signal, so "ZEN" is set huge in magenta, with "per principianti" beneath it. A reader knows in a second that this is a beginner's book.

The illustration is a woman meditating in a watercolor kimono under a conical hat, on soft pastel washes. It looks calm without looking like a dense philosophy text.

The start of a series system

This cover set the pattern for the series: a pastel illustrated character in a conical hat, centered, with bold sans-serif type above. Il Cane Zen and Il Gatto Zen reuse it with a dog and a cat.
