Naoko Awa is the first fairy tale writer I encountered when I first learned to read. Her vivid rhetoric and marvellous imagination have profoundly influenced my artistic creations.

As a warm-hearted storyteller, her tales have been translated into numerous languages and loved by readers worldwide. However, they are often only available in plain text, which can be quite dense. As a child, I struggled with plain text and wished for more engaging ways to connect with the stories. By creating this illustrated version of my favourite story, I hope the sense of affinity and calm brought by the tales can be appreciated in a visual way.



The contents of this book are an edited and condensed version of the original text.
