"It is a lovely story. From the description to the poetry. It's a universal story. From the image, to the ideal and the essence. It is a magical story. We have already visualised what we have to Be. It's a story about teaching. The road always awaits returns. It's a unique story. A woman will only be able to calm her mind in order to be transparent and return to the place that has been waiting for her for years." "Life has a direction but it is life that carries us along. When we try to take charge, it breaks us or causes us to fail, waiting for us to return to the place from which we started. These moments are in the book. When Haru leaves the path, when she returns, when she accepts, when she rejects, when she finally realizes, when she accepts, when she loves." From the book: "When you reach the age of one hundred, every day is a life, he would say to everyone who visited him. Every day is a life, Kazuko thinks."
