Sculptor Mio Hashimoto wrote a picture book about the irreplaceable days with God from a cat’s perspective.

At the age of 15, she experienced the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. At dawn, she saw a bagworm hanging and swaying from the camphor tree at her family home and thought it was God. A few years later, she rescued a cat named Tom. This book is a true story that depicts the subsequent ten years, overlaying the appearances of the cat and God with her own feelings.

* This book is a revised and expanded version of “The Day God Cried,” published by Tully’s Coffee Japan in 2008.

Author profile

Mio Hashimoto

Sculptor. She wants to see the forms of life her lost again, so she creates portrait sculptures that leave the living forms of the animals as they are. She likes the warm texture of wood carving, and she mainly uses camphor trees.
