The translator of this book, John Bester says, “(in Miyazawa Kenji’s story,) they had more genuine originality, and a more universal appeals, than almost anything else I have done, irrespective of whether it was aimed at adults or children.”

 

I think Kenji’s stories are deep and both children and adults can enjoy.

My favorite story of him is “Ginga-tetsudou no yoru (Night on the Milky Way Train)”. It is a book obout the story of the train which takes dead people to the next world, like various heaven. The expression in this book is extremely beautiful, and the story is deep and very attractive. So, if you are interested in Miyazawa Kenji’s book, I think you should read it! :)

Next week, I’m wondering what story I will read…
