"Journey in Search of Light" Author: [Japanese] Michio Hoshino Publisher: Nanhai Publishing Company

How long have you not looked up at the stars in the sky? How long has it been since you last listened to the sound of the wind on the snow? I don't know when humans slowly lost the ability to calm down and listen to the whispers of nature. The body is becoming more and more tired, and the heart is becoming more and more impetuous. In the dead of night, I can't help but ask: What kind of life do we really need? In faraway Alaska, it seems that something is always calling our hearts. There are glaciers, starry skies, snow rocks, auroras, North American reindeer, whales that we have never seen, and the original and most beautiful appearance of the world. There, we can truly feel the inner peace and freedom, the innocence and freedom of life. If you want to get a moment of quiet, or want to relax your tired body and mind, please pick up this book and follow Michio Hoshino away from the chaotic world and enter a quiet world that seems to be abandoned by the world. What we hear may be the call of the polar regions, or our own trembling hearts because of being moved. Poster:
