About This Novel

Nipponia nippon, the scientific name of the crested ibis symbolizes Japan. This beautiful bird was once found throughout Japan. By the 1930s, they were only observed in Sado, Niigata Prefecture. Local bird lovers are sparing no effort to protect the last crested ibis... According to Haruo Sato's observation, Japan's crested ibis will undergo a major change every ten years. In the early years of the Showa era, the Japanese government designated the crested ibis as a "natural monument"; in the 10s of the Showa era, the crested ibis was forgotten by people due to the war; in the 1920s of the Showa era, conservation organizations represented by the Sado Crested Ibis Protection Society were established, and the crested ibis returned to people's sight. Every ten years thereafter, the protection of the crested ibis will enter a new stage. Heisei 7, Showa 70 (1995). Haruo never dreamed that the great change he expected for Japan's crested ibis would actually be complete extinction.
