A short story published as a top-prize work of the Kyushu Art Festival Literary Award. Centered on the image of a thread connecting people, place, and memory, it combines local texture with literary tension.

Like a single thread, human memory and the time of a place are drawn together.

A short story selected for a commendation in the Kyushu Art Festival Literary Award. Through the gaze implied by a view through a window, it can be read as a story about inside and outside, nearness and distance, and changes in everyday scenery.

The view through the window reflects the distance between what is near and what remains out of reach.
