This is a book I have been waiting for for a long time, and I started it as soon as it came out in Chinese.
The author of this book, Seiji Yoshida, is a well-known Japanese illustrator and concept designer known for his work in the field of games and animation.
His style is unique and is often used to create fantasy worlds and characters.
Without further ado, let's feel a wave first, I'm already in it.
This "Storytelling House" is more than just an illustration book, but more like a key that opens the door to imagination.
There are 33 houses in the picture book, each with its own background and setting.
The owners of the house have different identities, such as dwarfs, shepherds, bridge tower keepers, city maidens, botanists, and so on.
The picture book shows the façade and interior section of the house, which is especially friendly to readers who like architectural design.
We can clearly see where the owner eats and sleeps, and the author will have detailed marks in some special places, so that readers can fully understand the house and collide with more stories based on their own imagination.
I love the meticulous witch's home in it. The witch in the setting is a survivor of a witch hunt, so she lives in a self-sufficient paradise away from others.
I like the witch's house very much, in addition to a large number of bookshelves, there is also a fireplace for heating in winter, and the girl who makes magic also needs a lot of herbs, so there is a small courtyard at the back of her house, the yard is planted with all kinds of herbs with different medicinal properties, as well as vegetables and chicken coops that need to be eaten, and the witty witch is also fenced with a stone wall, in order to prevent wild beasts from attacking.
The witch's home reminds me of the days when I was studying in a foreign country more than ten years ago, and it was also such a person who lived in a meticulous house, with books and himself as companions day and night.
Another house that I really like is the cider in the watermill hut.
The old man lived alone in the cottage of Mori Lichu, where he made the most delicious cider in the world.
Tasting the sake he brewed alone, and looking at the bouncing granddaughter who occasionally came here to play, the old man must have been very happy in his heart.
Sometimes, our requirements for life are not high, doing what we like, being able to eat and sleep, and occasionally getting together with family and friends, what a beautiful and comfortable life it should be.
Personally, I really, really like this book, after all, who wouldn't want to live in a house like this?
As the author says at the beginning, "These houses may remind you of a book you've read, or they may be something you've never imagined." What kind of story you imagine depends on you reading the book. ”
In the second half of the book, Seiji Yoshida also released the entire production process of a house very intimately, and I couldn't help but want to copy it when I saw it (a little overwhelmed).
In my opinion, these people are living on the edge of the world, because they are all somewhat involved in "social fear", but how many people in today's society do not have social fear?
There will always be a time when you want to be alone, you want to be quiet.
This book tells me that only by finding one's spiritual beliefs, cultivating hobbies, keeping reading, and finding the "boulder" in my heart can I always have fresh and young vitality and enjoy my own time for a long time.
