I recently finished reading Night on the Galactic Railroad, a classic Japanese children’s book by Miyazawa Kenji. Young Giovanni wakes up to find himself travelling along the Milky Way on the Galactic Railroad. His only friend Campanella is there too, and throughout their cosmic journey, they encounter many strange sights and meet other passengers, all against a thematic backdrop of “Where is everyone’s final and ultimate destination?” and “What is true happiness?” Perhaps Campanella is right in supposing that: “people are happiest when they do something truly good.” It is a beautiful and sad, yet hopeful, tale, and I highly recommend reading it. The image is from the 1985 anime film adaptation, which, for the most part, follows the book rather failthfully. (Although, why the boys are cat people in the film, I do not know.) Read the book. Watch the film. They are both so good. Thank you, Penguindrum, for leading me to them. I can certainly see their influence on you. As a final note, I would like to mention that there is a poem and two short stories in the version of the book I bought, and those are all lovely also.

Our father told us once about the scorpion of Baldora Field. The scorpion killed other bugs and ate them. Then one day, a weasel found him. The scorpion fled, and fell into a deep well. He was trapped, and he knew he'd die.
