That World and This World

About the productJapanese

Poet Shuntaro Tanikawa, who focuses his gaze on "that world" beyond the reality of the here and now, and writer Mikako Brady, who looks at the world from the ground of "this world," have exchanged poems and letters over the course of a year and a half and published this book. The words exchanged, set against the backdrop of their respective lives, such as aging and caregiving, are full of charm that makes you forget the distance between Tokyo and Brighton, and rather add to its flavor. The writing, serialized as "Kotoba no Hotori" in Iwanami Shoten's Tosho magazine, has been joined by original illustrations by Mondo Okumura, creating a collaborative work of expression by three generations and different genres.
