A FOREST PICTURE-BOOK

image


  A Forest Picture-Book (or MORI NO EHON) was produced by the Angel Foundation in August 1999, to bring a message of Angels and of our own Organization, to the young children as well as to their young parents. Our intentions of this publication will be achieved if the little book helps people in today's fluctuating world of appearances, to be more conscious of wonders of the supersensible (but not unintelligible) world. Our scope also involves some issues of Ecology, as shown in a word of the book title, "forest".
  Ryoji ARAI (1956- ), a celebrated artist for his illuminant works of illustration, gives the vibrant images to each page's stanza, which are composed by Hiroshi OSADA (1956- ), one of the most admirable Japanese lyricists. A Forest Picture-Book won the Kodansha Publishing Culture Award as the finest picture-book in the year 2000.
  Also, the Angel Foundation released the international bilingual edition with lucid English translation by the Rev. Dr. Peter MILWARD, S. J.(1925- ), to share those graceful poesy in the original text with people world over.
