Earth god and fox (Tsuchigami and fox)

Books selected by the Japan Library Association

The earth god repeatedly taught himself how valuable a single birch tree was to him. Still, I couldn't help but feel sad.
In particular, if I remembered even the slightest bit about that fox, it was so painful that I felt like my body would burn...

The sad story of love and jealousy is beautifully and mysteriously depicted in colorful oil paintings.
