Panda Sentō (Panda Bathhouse) is a children’s book, which follows a panda family as they visit a Japanese public bathhouse. Through the lighthearted and sometimes comical illustrations of Nakagawa Atsuko and Kameyama Tatsuya, the book explores the traditions and etiquette of a public bathhouse in Japan in a playful and easily digestable way for children and adults alike.

The artistic duo tupera tupera have created some of Japan’s most popular children’s books, including Shirokuma no Pantsu (Polar Bear’s Underpants), which won the 2014 Prix du Livre Jeunesse Marseille. The Tokyo-based husband-and-wife design team of Kameyama Tatsuya (b. 1976) and Nakagawa Atsuko (b. 1978) trained in oil painting at Musashino Art University and textile dyeing at Tama Art University, respectively. Their colourful, whimsical illustrations reflect their playful approach to their work.
