This book features a calm and reliable bear and a naughty and mischievous raccoon. Such a contrasting and cute combination, they accompany you through the four seasons in the mountains, take you to appreciate the beauty of nature, and accompany you through every day full of healing and love!
Together they bask in the warm sunshine of early spring, and they cross the river in midsummer together.
They share with each other the ripe fruits of late autumn,
And in winter, when the bear fell asleep, the raccoon thought:
"Can spring come soon?"
"The Bear and the Tanuki's Journey Through Four Seasons" is the first stand-alone work by the Japanese cartoonist Ho. He originally just uploaded some four-frame animal comics he drew on Twitter. Unexpectedly, because the style of painting is so cute, imaginative, and particularly funny and healing, it has been loved by many netizens. So Kadokawa Shoten, a large Japanese publishing group, took the lead in collecting and publishing the four-panel comics he had previously created into a volume. The promotional PV before the book was published was viewed 120 million times on Twitter and received an overwhelming response.
