Mika Hirasa has been the producer of the cover of Ukatama magazine since 2009. It is a production that focuses on a healthy life and healthy food.The origin of the name "Ukatama" is God of the food called "Uka-no-mitama-no-kami"
Mika has used a little girl with a red hood for these illustrations and often she is accompanied by a wolf, though sometimes the wolf's character is assumed by a different wild animal, a bear or mole for example. The illustrations are made in textiles but have real food items collaged into the
finished composition.
