Through recurring characters-the traveler Oraldo, the wise teacher Yumi, the tireless Kenji, the memory of Grandma Sumi, and even the curious cat Nori-Japanese culture takes shape in a warm and human way, transforming each chapter into an immersive and vibrant experience.\u003cbr\u003eWith an engaging and respectful style, Silvestri Fosco guides the reader along an emotional journey filled with wonder, discovery, and intimate reflection.
