Moonlit Magic

“"Paint the scenes I describe to you," the moon said at his first visit, "and you'll have a very pretty picture book."

---Hans Christian Andersen, “Picturebook without pictures”

When a Star is Born

This piece is a mixture of memories from my childhood, when I would sneak into my father’s library to look for something I could read, and the book “One Thousand and One Second Stories” by Taruho Inagaki.

The mysterious, mystical world of the book is expressed by blending with the innocent daydreams of a child.

Philosopher

“In Lower Pomerania is the Diamond Mountain, which is two miles and a half high, two miles and a half wide, and two miles and a half in depth; every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on it, and when the whole mountain is worn away by this, then the first second of eternity will be over.”

--The Brothers Grimm, “The Shepherd Boy”
