City of The Wind

2023

This picture book tells the story of a protagonist who is accidentally blown into a city governed by the Wind God, where they start living. 


In this city, the Wind God provides free food, water, and money, allowing people to live simple lives. However, the residents' behaviors are restricted by the Wind God, prohibiting activities like gambling or drinking. 

At first, the protagonist feels delighted by the effortless access to food, but gradually becomes restless and confused due to the lack of sufficient entertainment. This leads them to seek a way back home.










The purpose of this picture book is to convey that human nature does not change with the environment. It emphasizes the importance of living each day earnestly rather than fantasizing about an ideal life.
