All the feelings of spring are here.

"Spring makes me feel excited."
"Spring makes me feel fluffy."
"Spring is delicious."
"Spring makes my heart flutter."...

The first in a series of picture books depicting the seasons by Minahamu, an author who uses his overwhelming artistic skill to depict changing emotions and nature.

A masterpiece that is like a new classic, capturing the freshness of spring in modern Japan.

●Author's comments on this work

In the long, stable winter, small signs of news start to trickle in, and changes slowly begin to occur, like petals opening one by one. I think that the frustration and anxiety of being in the midst of change give us a sense of being alive.

Society is often changing, the temperature is unstable, and there is not much certainty, but the image is of time passing by on a tightrope walking the happy news of spring.

The final page, "Spring is new," overlaps with the joy of the complete end of winter and the successful transformation into a new self.
