Night on The Milky Way Train

by Kenji Miyazawa

illus. by Osamu Tsukasa

Kenji Miyazawa’s unfinished masterpiece is presented here with over 90 illustrations by renowned artist Osamu Tsukasa. Painstakingly carved into scratchboard, Tsukasa’s monochrome illustrations are dreamlike and powerful, bringing to life Miyazawa’s fantastical world. The tale of Giovanni and Campanella has enchanted readers since first published in 1934, the year after Miyazawa’s death. Tsukasa’s masterful visual interpretation of this well-loved tale makes this book a beautiful addition to any collection.
