——From the publisher's information

Released as the first in the ＜HOMEMADE series＞, this work is a "short piece aiming to be enjoyed repeatedly, like a single record in music, or a piano piece less than two minutes long." It contains a story and 11 newly carved multi-color prints (including the cover) in a compact B6 modified size.
It is a book where you can feel the fleetingness of illusion and quiet strength confronting an unsettling era.

The reverse side of the obi also includes an English translation by British translator Jessie Kirkwood, who has translated works by Seicho Matsumoto, Nanae Aoyama, and Yusei Takiguchi.
