Yama No Kaerimichi (Kadokawa Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Going from the city to the mountain, and from the mountain back to the city. The worry, anxiety, anticipation, and longing that accompany the first steps into the mountains are accompanied by an exhilarating sense of exhaustion and relief after the descent, making the sake taste delicious. The insatiable longing for the mountains and the daily emotions of the bar in Machida. The artist, who pendulums back and forth between the two, traces the unforgettable memories of his time spent in the mountains and writes lyrics today. The book contains about 70 illustrations and a column based on his many years of mountaineering experience. This is a collection of gems of essays that will make your heart boil with passion like a roaring fire.
