Features: Many believe that if Miyazawa had better fortune, his status might surpass that of Hans Christian Andersen—in his own country, it certainly did. These fairy tales are not written by the hand of a fairy tale author but come from the heart of an idealistic poet with a childlike innocence, imbued with a Japanese aestheticism that evokes a touch of melancholy. In the moment beauty reaches its peak, tears of a child's heart are shed.
