Would you like to walk, now, in the world Kenji Miyazawa once gazed upon?
In his poems and children’s tales unfold the land of Iwate, the starry sky, the wind and the light. And the gaze toward the people who live there――. In Miyazawa’s works a distinctive world spreads in which nature and humanity, science and faith, life and death resonate with one another.
Guided by Professor Masataka Ota, this literature seminar traces the words of the works and leads to the “horizon” Kenji Miyazawa looked toward. It is a literary course that both longtime readers of Miyazawa and those who would like to start reading him can enjoy.
