Sato the Rabbit, The Moon

En savoir plus sur le livre

Pastoral and surreal, the seven short tales in this collection are a celebration of the senses, and of the harmony that can exist between a gentle creature such as Sato the Rabbit and the natural world. Whether it's a pillow of cool, fresh water offered to him for a nap by the spring on a blisteringly hot day, a fragrant floral air float to carry him and his dreams, a hole in his hat, through which he discovers a midsummer forest full of singing cicadas, or a moon basket, nature's offerings are a bounty to be marveled at and enjoyed. In these stories, the invitation that the world extends doesn't exist separately from the eyes which see it and the imagination that conceives it. In other words, Sato's way of seeing actively participates in creating the beauty that he sees.
