library of japanese children picture books for times of climate emergency
Ehon 絵本
i
An environmental library of Japanese picture books for children published after 1945. Books whose heroes are anthropomorphized landscapes, plants, natural objects, insects, and other more-than-human actors aim to explore how ehon convey a relationship to nature and the living world. With the hope that when a mountain has a face, it is not so easy to start digging into it.

There is a commotion at the stadium by the great oak. Rhinoceros beetles versus stag beetles — a match for the sweet sap of the great oak is about to begin. The remarkable shapes of the beetles' shells make for the most extraordinary models in a thrilling dream wrestling match!
