Introduced in Asahi Shimbun (January 6, 2022) "Kanko Koshin" and becoming a hot topic!
A tree that continues to watch over a young boy warmly until he grows up and becomes an old man. The tree gives everything it has to him. Still, the tree was happy...
A world-famous picture book translated by Haruki Murakami that will touch your heart with unconditional love.
“You may look like this tree.
You may look like this boy.
Or maybe it's more like both.
You may be a tree and you may also be a boy.
What you feel about this story is of course up to you.
There's no need to put it into words.
That's why there are stories.
Stories are like mirrors of nature that reflect the human heart. ”
(From Haruki Murakami/translator's afterword)
