A mini-mural of Otsu, a character from Vagabond, peeks out from behind a corner in the back stairwell connecting the first and second floors of Books Kinokuniya's Bryant Park store. According to Kinokuniya store manager John Fuller, Takehiko Inoue painted this little visual treat in only an hour or two.
