"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.
Each country has its own New Year traditions! In the book " 14 Forest Mice. New Year " the mouse family prepares a traditional Japanese New Year dish - rice cakes o-mochi. Like any holiday dish, the cakes require the efforts of all family members - to make the dough, light a fire in special stoves, prepare delicious fillings! The more you try - the tastier the dishes on the New Year's table!
Iwamura's books are reminiscent of miniature dollhouses, in which you want to examine and touch every detail, and every little event is filled with truly Japanese philosophy and admiration for life in every moment.
