Sato the Rabbit (Volume 1)

In this surreal and poetic collection of short vignettes, we are invited into the quietly magical world of Sato the Rabbit―a world that mirrors our own, yet shimmers with wonder, curiosity, and transformation. “One day, Haneru Sato became a rabbit. He’s been a rabbit ever since.” With these matter-of-fact yet dreamlike opening lines, the story unfolds into a series of gentle adventures where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. In Sato’s world, a puddle reflecting the sky becomes a window to another realm. A walnut cracks open to reveal a cozy home, complete with a bathtub and bed. During a meteor shower, Sato catches falling stars in a net, lighting the way for a family’s nighttime walk. Rendered in soft watercolors and spare prose, these stories celebrate imagination, solitude, and the quiet magic of everyday life. Sato the Rabbit is the first in a beloved series from Japan that invites readers of all ages to slow down, look closely, and rediscover the world through new eyes.
