茂作じいさん (ジュニアポエムシリーズ)

Jun'ichi Kobayashi

A poetry collection for children by Junichi Kobayashi. The title poem, Mosaku Jiisan, portrays an old man who spends the day looking out to sea and murmuring while peering through an old telescope, using gentle language accessible to children. The collection brings together poems about everyday scenes, play, family, and nature, combining familiarity with quiet resonance.

Work Information

From the figure of old Mosaku gazing at the sea, a child's imagination quietly expands.

Mosaku Jiisan is a poetry collection with poems by Junichi Kobayashi and illustrations by Masao Kubo, written for readers from children to adults. Alongside the title poem, it includes subjects close to children's lives, such as apartment buildings, sunflowers, school, and household customs. In plain language, it gathers the loneliness of old age, imagination directed beyond the sea, and the small surprises of everyday life.
