Autumn in the forest - time to harvest. Nuts and seeds have already been collected. We go digging sweet potatoes - sweet potatoes together with a charming family of mice from the books of Japanese artist Kazuo Iwamura. This is not an easy task when the sweet potato root is large and hides deep underground! But everything is possible when the whole family - both small and large - work together. And what a beautiful summer around, and what a delicious sweet potato dinner turned out, delicious!
"14 Forest Mice" is a very popular book series in Japan and many European countries about the beauty of everyday life and the life of three generations of a mouse family: grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, and a dozen more mice. Immediately after their release in 2017, the books in the series became bestsellers of the Samokat publishing house.
Iwamura's books are reminiscent of miniature dollhouses, in which you want to examine and touch every detail, and every small event is filled with truly Japanese philosophy and admiration for life in every moment.
