Kenji Miyazawa's World
Miyazawa (1896-1933) was a poet and an author of children's story.
I like his works but haven't read them for years.
I used to read them when I was a kid.
I'm reading them on Kindle now.
I've heard that Miyazawa was not highly appraised nor widely read while he was alive.
His words still evoke something warm and clean.
It will never fade away.
I wish I could express the beauty of the world like him.
The Restaurant of Many Orders is a famous story of him but every story I read today shined like stars.
Especially his ability of describing the nature is marvelous.
His words sound like a dream but I truly know what it is like.
I highly recommend his works to Japanese speakers or learners.
