Owl and Winter Moon

Shimafukurō and the Winter Moon

"The Owl and the Winter Moon" is one of the works published by Guangxi Normal University Press under its "Magic Elephant Picture Book Kingdom" imprint. This book tells the story of a hungry owl struggling to find prey in a snow-covered forest. The moon accompanies the owl throughout the long night, guiding it to find prey and companions. As night recedes and the morning glow rises, the two owls stand huddled together. Keizaburo Tejima uses woodblock prints to depict the snowy night under the moon, a scene that is vast yet not desolate, where life continues amidst a blend of tranquility and vibrancy. This picture book portrays the true survival state of animals in nature, showcasing both the beauty and cruelty of nature, and the greatness and insignificance of life.
