Front cover: This is an ornamental tool called an ‘inro’ used to carry medicines in the Edo period. On the surface of this inro, the structure of N1‐methyl‐pseudouridine (N1mΨ), the key to the development of the mRNA vaccine against COVID‐19, is schematically depicted with plum buds (oxygen atoms) and branches, using the maki‐e lacquer decoration technique. Coronavirus particles are depicted on the toggle (‘netsuke’) used to secure the inro to the obi of the kimono. Perhaps one day, wherever we travel, we will enjoy our journey without fear of unknown viruses by swallowing a pill taken from our portable pill case like this inro. Designed by TRAIS Co., Ltd.

封面：这是一种被称为“inro”的装饰工具，在江户时代用于携带药物。在该 inro 的表面上，使用梅花芽（氧原子）和树枝示意性地描绘了 N1-甲基-伪尿苷 (N1mΨ) 的结构，这是开发针对 COVID-19 的 mRNA 疫苗的关键。 e 漆器装饰技术。冠状病毒颗粒被描绘在用于将内罗固定到和服腰带上的肘节（“悬钩”）上。也许有一天，无论我们去哪里旅行，我们都会通过吞下从便携式药盒中取出的一颗药丸来享受我们的旅程，而不必担心未知的病毒，就像这个 inro 一样。由 TRAIS Co., Ltd.（日本神户）设计。图像
