Sleeping Village
Ragnar Persson
"There was nothing to do other than walking outside or drawing pictures in my childhood," Ragnar told me. I hear he was born and raised in a small village in the north of Sweden. "Sleeping Village" is exactly a work that emerged from an imagination cultivated between "walking around the village" and "drawing hungrily." >>>

The Deer-Star -Amerindian Songs-
English text: collected and re-expressed by Mary Austin
Drawings by Yukari Miyagi
The Japanese translation by Kazue Daikoku + Jeff Brower
Book design by Takashi Miyagwa
This is a story of a bright star, known as Sirius, that may be seen low down in the eastern sky at sunrise on summer mornings. The drawings and the Paiute Legend join together and melt into each other, running through the hills of the desert, the fields of sage and the mesa of cactus like the wind. There is an attractive landscape horizontally changing, and lively plants and creatures scattered on it: the poem, drawings and book design are well harmonized and the book will bring you a very dynamic and exciting experience.
All the poems, included the title piece "The Deer-Star" are presented both in English and Japaese.
