< Story >
Kino journeys with his
partner Hermes, the motorcycle that speaks. They travel through one strange
country after another. Through their encounters with the inhabitants,
stories unwind and mysteries unfold, plunging them right into the reality
of life in each country. They witness wonders and joy in one country,
and then in another, they witness hopeless sorrow. It all seems random,
and there does not seem to be a tangible pattern or answer to it, and
yet each of the encounters, and each of the lives touches Kino and it
accumulates into a certain sense that the world is beautiful.
The cool thing about the show is that the hero never labors or even attempts
to give answers or right the wrongs to the problems he encounters, but
simply accepts each land as he finds. Because he is simply a "traveler."
