作品詳細

[About the product]
―Birds on the water, standing in the evening scenery, and living their finite lives―
The Okawa River flows through Kesennuma City from west to east, bringing abundant blessings of water to the basin, and also pouring into the sea to nurture abundant seafood. With a total length of 29 kilometers, this "mother river" is a natural paradise for the birds that live in its basin. In addition to resident birds that stay and live all year round, you can see various kinds of birds, such as summer birds, winter birds, and migratory birds that migrate in spring and autumn. In this book, the author, who has been fascinated by the appearance of such birds and has continued to go to Okawa every morning and evening, introduces the kingfisher, which is said to be a "flying jewel" and emits a cobalt blue glow, and the wild kingfisher, which catches prey by dynamic diving. This is a collection of photographs mainly of Okawa birds living in the midst of the workings of nature. As a book that connects the splendor of life that has been handed down to the future, we will deliver it to everyone who loves nature. At the end of the book, "Bird name origin / origin" is included.

[Comment from publisher]
Birds have been familiar to our lives and culture for a long time, so it may be said that they are animals that are easily affected by changes in society. I would be happy if many people could think about the relationship between humans and nature through this book.
