She is still loved by the Japanese for her warm and powerful description of the trivial daily life disappearing from the modern age. This book is a book written by a late-born artist for more than a decade experiencing and interacting with trees all over Japan from Hokkaido in the north of Japan to Yakushima in the south. In the story of a sparkling tree that fell in love with my father, I recalled memories of my father who received a divorced daughter and returned home. I saw the tree alone in the middle of the city, It is necessary to look carefully and to read the moments of life that have passed through the tree. There are also fifteen essays written in a well-polished language, including a look at the sprouting of new spruce trees from the collapsed dead spruce tree, and the life cycle of all things. I visit, listen, feel, thank each word of teaching, write very carefully and engrave my heart deeply. The warmth of the people you meet while traveling and the delicate and affectionate gaze of the trees are bringing enrichment throughout the essay. However, traveling and do not fuss about the emotions. The temperance and the attitude of Ji Eun, which are various, make us realize that even the words of environmental protection and nature friendly are human arrogance. What humans can do is just look at the tree as it is, its life as it is.
