(English) Winter & Star
The cold winter's preserved strength for the birth of new life.
The sleepy Winter prepares for his journey. With a pouch of white snow and another of dark night it is a trip he makes annually. Moving inconspicuously to avoid the cold shuffles, he spots a boy walking alone. The boy is unmoved even when Winter sprinkles snow on him and expresses his displeasure at winter taking his parents away from him. In response, Winter prepares the child to greet another “Winter.” It is a tale that reflects the meaning of togetherness as the child welcomes a new sibling.
(Japanese) 冬の星
世界の果てで長い眠りについていた「冬」は、鐘が鳴ると目を覚まし旅の準備をします。しかし皆、冬を避けているようなので冬はこっそり旅に出ます。そんな時、一人ぼっちの少年が冬の目に止まります。 一人で家に帰る少年に冬は雪を撒いてあげますが、少年は嫌がります。冬は一緒にいたいと思い子供の近くに行きますが、少年は冬がお母さんとお父さんを連れて行ったと話し、「冬が嫌い！」と叫びます。「冬」という名前の弟を迎える子供と、寒い季節の「冬」を通して「一緒に」の意味を共に考えさせられます。
