This is an old picture book from 1985. There are some minor scratches and some yellowing, but I think it's in good condition for its age. Please understand that this is a used book before purchasing. An old man with a very fine umbrella. He hates getting his umbrella wet, so he's never opened it. One rainy day, the old man heard children singing while holding their umbrellas, and he wanted to open his own. Sounds that he couldn't hear without an umbrella enveloped him. One of Yoko Sano's representative works. It seems that at the time of publication, a picture book with an old man as the main character was very unusual. Ginga-sha
