This is the first collection of works by Shinjiro Ogawa, popular on social media for his perspective-heavy style that depicts scenes of station fronts, street corners, and train tracks.

The unique deformation emphasizes the terrain’s elevations and the curves of the tracks, giving the rickety buildings and trains a nostalgic and warm feeling. Many of the illustrations incorporate a distinctly Japanese sense of the seasons, allowing readers to experience the changing of the seasons as they turn the pages.
