It feels like the breeze in autumn, both chilly and comforting. A short story about a woman and her mother's journey in Japan. With a bit of flashbacks during the journey, trying to transcribe the meaning of life. The detail description of the story made me feel like I was the one who went through it. It was me who wandering through Japan, having short trips, walking here and there, and many more. I wish there would be more depth in character development. The connection between the main character and her mother is not as strong as I wished. Maybe if it's not a short story, the character development and their chemistry could be better. Overall, the story was pretty enjoyable for me.
