Welcome to Litsy!

Diversity keeps me happy. Lots of Indigenous authors this month, and lots of women authors. Life is good. #readingstats

A mostly wordless #graphicnovel with highly realistic art about a Japanese man who enjoys living in the moment. He spends a lot of time outdoors in all seasons, walking. He listens and pays attention to nature, the urban environment and the people around him. In the scene above, he gets off a commuter bus because he spots an inviting path that leads up to a temple. A lovely serene book, and one that might lower your blood pressure. #translation

It‘s soothing to read a mostly-pictures graphic novel about a man who does things like climb a tree to rescue a toy airplane for some children.
