Tree/树

From Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost region, to Kagoshima, its southernmost point; from childhood jealousy of her older sister to adult regret for her daughter, this book records Fumi Koda's 15 interactions with trees over 13 years, the last piece written when she was 80. With incredibly insightful eyes, she gazed at the paths trees took and their destinations, transcending the trees themselves in her memories and feelings related to them, and seeing the meaning of life.

从日本最北部的北海道，到最南端的鹿儿岛；从儿时对姐姐的嫉妒，到成年对女儿的遗憾，本书记录了幸田文在13年间与树木的15次交流，最后一篇写于80岁。她以一双极具洞察力的眼睛凝视着树的来路和归处，在与树相关的回忆和感受中，她超越树木本身，看到了生命的意义。
