Konton
by Baku Yumemakura
illus. by Taiyo Matsumoto
Konton is a faceless being with six legs and six wings. He sits and stares at the sky with his no-eyes, smiling with his no-mouth. One day, the emperors of the north and of the south visit Konton and decide to give him what he lacks – two eyes, two ears, two nostrils and a mouth. Best-selling author Baku Yumemakura has based this bittersweet tale on a Chinese mythological creature, while award-winning manga artist Taiyo Matsumoto provides the warm and wistful illustrations.
