A pillow of fresh spring water, a moon basket, and flowers that grow more fragrant at night as they carry you aloft into dreams: such is the gentle world, rich in sensorial experience, nature, and imagination, of Sato the Rabbit.

Pastoral and surreal, the seven short tales in this collection are a celebration of the senses, and of the harmony that can exist between a gentle creature such as Sato the Rabbit and the natural world. Whether it's a pillow of cool, fresh water offered to him for a nap by the spring on a blisteringly hot day, a fragrant floral air float to carry him and his dreams, a hole in his hat, through which he discovers a midsummer forest full of singing cicadas, or a moon basket, nature's offerings are a bounty to be marveled at and enjoyed. The second book in a whimsical trilogy from Japan, this collection of stories invites readers to embrace the wonders of nature, the transportive power of the senses, and the transformation of the imagination. Because, as Sato shows us, the beauty that we see in the world is actively created by the eyes which perceive it and the imagination that conceives it.

一个清澈的泉水枕头，一个月亮篮子，还有那些在夜里越发芬芳的花朵，让它们带你进入梦境，进入兔子佐藤的温柔世界，那里充满了感官体验、自然和想象力。

七个短篇故事既田园又超现实，主题是感官，颂扬了像兔子佐藤这样温和的生物与自然界之间的和谐。夏日炎炎，泉水为他提供的一枕清凉的淡水，空气芬芳的花香带着他和他的梦想浮动，通过帽子上的一个洞，他发现了充满蝉鸣的仲夏森林，还有一个月亮篮子，大自然的馈赠都是值得赞叹和享受的财富。作为日本异想天开的三部曲中的第二部，这本故事集邀请读者拥抱大自然的奇迹、感官的转换能力以及想象力的转变。因为，正如佐藤向我们展示的那样，我们在这个世界上看到的美是由感知它的眼睛和构思它的想象力积极创造的。
