- Book Intro
-
This is a brave and unusual adventure enjoyed by a small square. The square says he is going to go even if he falls! The idea for The Voyage of the Square, the writer's first picture book, came while she was playing with small pieces of paper with children. Papers get cut and torn as soon as the children get their hands on them. The paper loses all its shape. But then it is reborn as something totally different.
You can do anything, even if you are small - anything!

(English) The process of creating images by hiding or revealing puddles of rainwater is the same as drooling while imagining food that smells so good. Although I was the one doing the work, I didn't know what I was going to get in the end. The images that appeared in front of my eyes after the long, long process, were a different flavor from my first picture book, The Voyage of the Square. The process of making various shapes and stories, as the simple lines, sides and numerous colors come together, is very enjoyable.
(Chinese) “下定决心，开始行动！”“下定决心~！”“追随自己的内心。”心还活着，却像透明人一样无意识地活动、吃东西、瘫坐、发力。有时想装作不知道，有时想拥抱它。这会让我变得喜怒无常，但我依然想描绘这颗最可爱、亲切的心。已出版创作绘本《很酷很酷的白色公主》和《方块》，并为《冰冷而炽热的故事》、《混乱的迷宫世界》、《心灵料理》、《下定决心》、《雨水公寓》画了插图。
