Empty Light: A Novel Part 1

About the productJapanese

Ayuko is left in charge of Makino Maki's house while she goes to the Andes for a year. She moves into her senior's apartment with plants and tableware, and begins living with her younger brother Sou, who has come to stay with her. While depicting ordinary scenes from everyday life, the book also depicts the various types of tableware that surround us, and the overflowing light and sound that pour into them, illuminating the contours of our lives...This is a powerful story that uses tableware as a motif to invite the reader to a fundamental place.
We eat what we receive from nature by placing it in a "vessel." The water poured into the "vessel" hydrates our body and mind. We spend our days in the "vessel" of our home, and after saying goodbye to this world, our bodies are cremated and placed in the "vessel."
This book is the first in the "Utsuwa Shosetsu" series produced by the Kamakura Utsuwa Gallery "Utsuwa Shoken KAMAKURA". The binding is wrapped in a large piece of paper and sealed with a sticker. (Quoted from Minato no Hito's website)
