Abstract :
Hideko Kunii grew up in the countryside of Aichi-prefecture in Japan surrounded by the singing of birds and cicadas. A quiet girl who loved books, her favorite childhood memories are both visual and fragrant-the garden of her house, the yellow rape blossoms in the rice fields, and the cherry blossoms at the banks.
