Night on the Galactic Railroad & Other Stories from Ihatov by Kenji Miyazawa
5.0
Poetic, beautiful and joyful.
Like a japanese book of fables it’s filled with an air of old Japan and it’s traditions and spirituality.
It reminded me of Akira Kurusawas movie ”memories”.
Not all the short stories are at the same level. But the ones that stand out are truly mesmerizing. Especially the first one that gives the book it’s title.
It’s fantasy in it’s best form and made me feel like I was walking that road across the milky way, with the southern wind in my hair and starlight on my breath.
