Function, meet magical realism
When we think of Murakami's books, we think of the surreal stories he create - talking cats, odd dreams, sex - all wrapped in intricately woven prose. The way he navigates the universe of his books through his words is nothing short of magic and we wanted to translate that into a creative yet functional site.
