"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.
In the book " 14 Forest Mice. Laundry " on a hot summer day, the family goes to a cool stream with baskets of laundry. Laundry turns into a real adventure - with joint teamwork, swimming, even heroic adventures, because the river has a fast current and dangerous waterfalls! And the summer day is filled with beauty - drops of dew flow down the leaves, cicadas ring, plump clouds run across the high sky. "Dry, laundry, in the blue sky. Dry in the green wind."
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.
