Three white rabbits celebrating Golden Week as samurai, singer and shaman are on a quest to admire azaleas on a mountain hike. May the month of May be merry, barbecue bring briskness to our gait, and fluttering carp herald lashings of luck.
Off hiking a mountain track. The same track that Natsume Sōseki took when he was writing Grass Pillow (草枕 Kusa Makura) in 1906: “Walking up a mountain track, I fell to thinking… Approach everything rationally, and you become harsh. Pole along in the stream of emotions, and you will be swept away by the current. Give free rein to your desires, and you become uncomfortably confined. It is not a very agreeable place to live, this world of ours.”
