About Book

This is a set of picture books full of ingenuity and design. Mitsumasa Anno blends science and philosophy into humorous visual games, building an amazing artistic world with exquisite and delicate watercolor paintings. His meticulous thinking and precise design are not lacking in beauty and childlike innocence. Through the intricate arrangement of two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces and clever shifts in perspective, Anno Mitsumasa presents impossible paradoxical spaces in "The Mysterious Country." The interesting stories in "The Upside-Down Country" allow young readers to vividly understand the abstract philosophical concept of "relativity." And the mysterious "Forest" is the ultimate embodiment of the author's meticulous design and delicate brushwork. In the seemingly quiet forest, many animals are actually hidden. Can you find them? "The Mysterious Country": You're clearly going up the stairs, but you end up on the same level as before; in the same maze, some people walk head-down and feet-up, while others walk head-up and feet-down, yet they're still fine; water flowing from a faucet placed high up, after flowing through a village, somehow flows back into the faucet from a high place? The author's ingenious arrangement and design of the pictures reach an astonishing level, perfectly presenting paradoxes, illusions, and double meanings hidden beneath a reasonable exterior, opening people's eyes.
