"Two Summers" Yoko Sano / Shuntaro Tanikawa The only collaborative novel by a poet and a picture book author. This collection was long out of print due to the authors' divorce. First Edition: ¥1,650 "The Shape of Morning" Valuable Showa 60 edition (1985) Slightly damaged cover ¥594 "Mickey Mouse of the Night" First Edition: ¥356 "Two Summers" The original edition was published in 1995, but quickly went out of print and became a phantom work due to the authors' divorce. It contains three short stories: "Nail," "Being Here with Peace of Mind," and "Ton-chan's Grave," and includes Tanikawa's poem "Summer Has Come" at the beginning. A new edition has been published with a new afterword essay by Tanikawa. The first story, "Nail," is a summer story set in Kita-Karuizawa—Sano writes the diary of a young girl, and Tanikawa writes the diary of an elderly scholar staying at a summer resort, with the two diary-style novels alternating. The work includes 7 color illustrations (by Sano). The next story, "Being Here with Peace of Mind," features Sano's chapters about a girl and her mother (without a father), and Tanikawa's chapters about a man contemplating suicide (2 color illustrations, 3 monochrome illustrations). The last story, "Ton-chan's Grave," is written from Sano's perspective of a mother living with her daughter, and from Tanikawa's perspective of the deceased, transcending time and space (5 monochrome illustrations). This is the only collaborative novel by the two authors. A treasure-like collection, weaving together the unrestrained works of Sano and the intellectual works of Tanikawa with beautiful illustrations, a masterpiece of collaboration. #YokoSano #Yoko_Sano #ShuntaroTanikawa #Shuntaro_Tanikawa #Books #JapaneseLiterature/Novels&Stories, Poetry Collection"
