Two hunters go on a hunting trip in the country and end up completely lost. Luckily they come across what appears to be an extremely popular restaurant…but everything is not as it seems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKenji Miyazawa is one of Japan’s best known and well-loved writers and poets. He was born in what is now Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, Japan, in 1896. Although the eldest son of a wealthy pawnbroker and landowner, Kenji was a deeply spiritual person who led a frugal life, and when he wasn’t writing, volunteered a great deal of his time teaching farmers how to improve their crop yields, or organizing concerts for classical music in his local village. He was a prolific writer who completed hundreds of works, but only a small collection of those were published while he was still alive, his reputation as one of Japan’s greatest storytellers only coming after his death in 1933, aged 37.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little J Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067430322416,"sku":"2940045468985","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045468985_p0.jpg?v=1763679830","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045468985","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
