Reading this book is a sheer joy ride!
I won’t stop at saying it’s an easy read – it’s heartwarming, it’s fun and simple as flowing water, one where you take a dip and don’t want to come out for long! In short, it lives the name “The Easy Life in Kamusari”.
The author Shion Miura takes you on a journey, offering an experience akin to that of a newcomer discovering marvels and wonders at every stage. The narrator, Yuki, a confused young man who, initially resistant to being placed in a remote village to study forestry, gradually develops a deep affinity for his new environment. Miura skillfully illustrates the splendour of the changing seasons while also highlighting the challenges and daily hazards inherent to this way of life, all interwoven with incisive wit and humour. As Yuki observes: “…there are a couple of reasons why Kamusari villagers are so easygoing. One is that most of them are involved in forestry, where you have to think in cycles of a century; the other is that there’s no place to hang out at night, so when it gets dark everybody just hits the hay.”
“Running around won’t make the trees grow faster. Get plenty of rest, eat hearty, and tomorrow take what comes”
