On the small fishing island of Himakajima, lost in Mikawa Bay, life is measured and boring. Tourists are rare here, there are few attractions, but there is more than enough local color. A young man from Russia plunges headlong into this unusual, surprising life for a foreigner. True, he won’t be bored because typhoon season is coming to the island. What have the deities and the mysterious kami-sama prepared for the heroes? Are the frightening legends told by local fishermen true, and is a terrible tsunami really approaching Himakajima? Will the heroes be able to change their fate, hear their own hearts, understand what is truly priceless and what is just water dust scattering in the impenetrable darkness, and clay shards of a broken octopus trap... “Anahit Grigoryan constantly opens the bamboo curtains and explains to the reader all sorts of small details Japanese life, looks into the depths of a street vending machine, eavesdrops on the conversation of ordinary Japanese, where refined politeness and unceremoniousness paradoxically coexist - in a word, it allows you to look into the Japanese world, Japanese culture, and even see the Japanese soul through the eyes of a Russian expat.” – Vladislav Tolstov, book reviewer.
