Taro Gomi's works are a marvel of mischief, entertaining children and their parents in Japan and abroad for nearly half a century.
Widely prolific, Gomi published his first book in 1973 at the age of 28. Called "Michi" ("Road"), it creatively depicts various geographical roads, from the wide streets of a city to the mysterious paths of a forest.
After graduating from the Kuwasawa Design School, Gomi worked in commercial and editorial design for a few years before launching his career with "Michi." He's never looked back, and has since published over 450 books, which have been translated into English, Spanish, Thai, French, Chinese and nearly 15 other languages. His most recently published book was just this May: "Toriaezu, Gomenasai" or "I'm Sorry, For the time Being."
