[SEAL-DO] Shinzi Katoh x Kenji Miyazawa: Magic Lantern Museum “The Nighthawk Star” • Sparkling postcard

$400

[SEAL-DO] Shinzi Katoh x Kenji Miyazawa: Magic Lantern Museum “The Nighthawk Star” • Sparkling postcard is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.


Yodaka no Hoshi (“The Nighthawk Star”) by Japanese poet and writer Kenji Miyazawa is a children's short story of a bird that gets teased and outcasted by the other birds. The beginning of the story stars:  “The nighthawk was really a very ugly bird. His face had reddish brown blotches as though someone had daubed it with bean paste, his beak was flat, and his mouth stretched right around to his ears."

This is part of the Kira Pika postcard series celebrating the masterful works of Kenji Miyazawa. Illustrated by Shinzi Katoh.
