Makoto Oishi おおいし しん award

Makoto Oishi's "Wind Vane" is a work of children's literature titled after an instrument that senses the movement of wind. With quiet lyricism and realism, it depicts a child's heart sensitively receiving changes in the outside world and searching for its own direction.

Like an instrument that reads the direction of the wind, the story shows a child's heart sensing changes in the world.
