Mount Fuji has been a source of spiritual inspiration since it was first ascended by a monk over a millennium ago. Blue Summit? introduces a former cult member struggling to maintain his escape from a mountain monastery, seeking solace in the fluorescent lights of the convenience store he manages. In ?Sea of Trees, ? three teenage boys who share a fascination with the metaphysical confront the startling realities of death and despair on their final adventure together before parting ways for different schools. ?Jamila? chronicles a privileged young man's descent into disillusionment as he works with a compulsive hoarder to clear her mess. And in ?Child of Light, ? a nurse struggles as she comes to terms with her role in the oft-brutal cycle of birth, life, and death. Throughout the stories, Mount Fuji stands sentinel even as it fades in and out of view ? watching and remembering as it always has.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50764687966481,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50764690587921,"sku":"CIN1612184251G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1612184251.jpg?v=1750960481"},{"product_id":"riku-and-the-kingdom-of-white-book-randy-taguchi-9781911221029","title":"Riku and the Kingdom of White","description":"\u003cp\u003eRiku Sato is in the fifth grade, when he moves from Utsunomiya to Fukushima to switch schools. Minamisoma, the town he arrives in, is virtually deserted-after the devastating earthquake and tsunami disaster of March 11, 2011, which struck the Tohoku region in Japan and triggered a nuclear meltdown, not a single soul is in sight; not in the roads, nor in the school grounds. Riku spends endless, humdrum days in this ghost town, yearning to play outside, to take his bicycle out for a spin and ride like the wind, when he comes across the otherworldly, sparkling snowscape of a mountain in northern Japan. There, in the majestic kingdom of white, he befriends good-natured grownups; encounters wild animals in the mountains; and comes into contact with a mysterious boy and his equally mysterious companion, Tonchi.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRiku and the Kingdom of White\u003c\/em\u003e is a coming-of-age story of a wide-eyed boy's courage, brimming with hope of a bright and shining future.
