Boasting 100% satisfaction with 100% coolness and 100% fun
Jump into the octopus ink soup at the octopus bathhouse!

Of course, if it's your first time going into a bathhouse alone, you might feel embarrassed and awkward and timid.
Because the first time is awkward and difficult for everyone.
It's embarrassing to be naked in front of strangers for the first time.
The loud voices of the ladies with curly hair are also noisy.
I'm also scared of the girls with their long, flowing hair down.
Everyone may seem happy and excited except me.


But take a little more courage and take a step forward.
I leave the locker room, open the door, and go into the bathroom.
You'll have fun splashing around in the tub with your partner, and there's a friend waiting to rub your ticklish back!

Now, throw away the towel covering your body and jump into the bath!


Wash my dark heart white
You are invited to the octopus bathhouse!

Someone is waiting for us in the black ink soup.
The feeling of being upset because you can't be with your mom, the feeling of being hurt because you're different from others, the secret you can't even tell your best friend.
There's a friend waiting to sweep all of this away.
It cools down your itchy back and thoroughly rinses off any slippery soap bubbles.
If you hold your breath and dive deep into the ink soup, you will encounter colorful fish among the dark water.
I think I can see a little bit of a mermaid tail there.
Where on earth am I?

Yellow Imagination's picture book, "Octopus Bathhouse," is a story born from the question, "How should a child without a mother go to the bathhouse?"
The sense of loss and deprivation that comes from not having a mother is something that no one around you can easily fill.
But within us all, we possess the courage and confidence to persevere despite such shortcomings.
It's just a matter of how to discover that hidden heart and how to cultivate it.


"Octopus Bathhouse" is a picture book that gives us all the courage to believe that we can do it alone, and that we are never alone.
To all the children who don't have mothers, children who don't have fathers, children who don't have friends, and all the people who feel alone, I tell them to come to the octopus bathhouse and have fun.

Do you feel lonely and alone? Are you ashamed of your differences? If so, open the door to the "Octopus Bathhouse" today and step inside.
If you wash away your loneliness and sadness and plunge into the bath, you might see a smooth, round head poking out from the warm water and greeting you.
