R42 — Summer on the Kii Peninsula and the Ise Road

At 17, I rode a bicycle—
Tsu, Kumano, Owase, Matsusaka.

Tracing the sea and roads of my hometown, Mie,
this book records days of youth and memories of an era.

The winds of the Showa era,
the breaths of the people who lived on the land,
and a boy's feelings.

I have recorded 'that summer'
left beyond National Route 42.
