Our villages were hailing distance apart, and we were raised in the same way, so all of the panels in this picture book make me long for that time.We were truly poor. But our lives were so rich! There were bullies and the bullied, but neither stood alone. Risho's artworks whisper, "take back that richness".-- Singer and actor Tsunehiko Kamijo== Artist Profile ==Risho MiyazawaArtist, Illustrator, TV ArtistBorn 1938 in Horigane of the Minami Azumi district in Nagano prefecture (now Horigane in Azumino).Graduated from Matsumotoken-Gaoka High School, and the department of fine arts at the Tokyo University of the Arts.He was hired by TBS, and directed the art in many TV dramas by author and screenwriter Kuniko Mukoda, and author and director Teruhiko Kuze, who have created many great works with the Showa period as a backdrop.These illustrations are being serialized in the culture column of the Sankei newspaper.
