Une belle ballade errante au rythme d'un chien, Tamon, qui parcourt des kilomètres pour retrouver son petit maître.
Sur sa route se dévoilent des vies, des secrets , des douleurs, mais aussi les angoisses et traumas de ces habitants secoués par les tsunamis et tremblements de terre fréquents au Japon.
Un joli conte qui se lit comme un receuil de nouvelles, qui nous promène à travers poésie, mystère, foi, bienveillance, mais aussi à travers la difficulté de certaines vies sur cette terre, et toute la tristesse que l'on peut y rencontrer.
