Description

Okano, a convenience store employee with a troubled past, is but one of the many unforgettable characters found in this collection of four stories. Among the others are three boys facing a frightening lesson in mortality, a woman using garbage to fill a hole in her heart, and a nurse struggling to cope with the oft-brutal cycle of birth, life, and death. Remaining constant even as it fades in and out of view is the great Mount Fuji, one of Japan's Three Holy Mountains. It serves as the anchor for these characters? lives, and for Randy Taguchi's Fujisan, an exploration of redemption, discovery, loss, and remembrance ? and the eternal bond with the mystical natural powers that connect us all.
