CONCEPT
In a small village, there lived a little boy named "Boku-kun." He deeply admired the great teacher "SENSEI." One night, the cherished village church was destroyed. No matter how much Boku-kun tried to persuade the other villagers to rebuild it, the adults only made excuses. Even though they should be following SENSEI's teachings just like him, the adults would not understand him. In search of the "true meaning" that Sensei had taught, Boku-kun leaves the village on his own...

ABOUT US
KAGARIBI ― The Beginning
A reclusive young man had studied extensively and amassed a wealth of knowledge, yet he couldn't apply it in society. However, he had a passion for illustration and had been drawing ever since he was ten years old. Seeing his artwork, we thought, "Perhaps through his illustrations, he can move people's hearts and give courage to those in situations similarto his own."Thus, our challenge began.
SHIDŌ ― Thoughts and Wishes
To create a picture book and have it placed in bookstores nationwide, so it could be read by children who have drifted away from picture books, adults scarred by the stress of society, and many other people. And finally, to have it not only provide comfort to its readers, but also offer just a little bit of learning within its pages. It is with toughts and hopes like these that we brought this project into the world.
NOZOMI ― Looking Ahead
We want people are wounded, children who are tired of our hetic society, and adults to take break to remember the feelings and emotions that they have forgotten in a world of fantasy.
that is what we consider our ultimate goal.
