Conte de la première lune [Japanese]

179 p. ; 16 cm.

"Tale of the first moon is the story of a young romantic poet who , to cure his melancholy, began in the last century a trip south of Kyoto, a region known for its beautiful landscapes and magical practices Buddhist ascetics live there. Bitten by a poisonous snake, it is collected by a monk in a hermitage in the heart of the mountains and meets in a dream a woman he falls in love . But where does the dream ends and where reality is ? This is one of the issues raised by this philosophical and poetic tale, when the moon rises over the unforgettable beauty of a woman washing in its rays, where the intensity of the blossoming flowers and feelings coincide with the moment of death, while a butterfly, delicate and beautiful, guide the traveler through the maze of illusions until the denouement ."
