• 著者について

  Kenji Miyazawa (ミヤザワ　ケンジ)
  Kenji Miyazawa (1896-1933) was born into a wealthy family in northern Japan and grew up questioning the class disparities of his time. He became a devout Buddhist and teacher of poor farmers, writing poems and children's stories depicting the interconnectedness of things in a fantasy-world setting. He published few books before his death at the age of 37 but achieved wide acclaim posthumously, including for the widely-adapted novella Night on the Galactic Railroad.
