森のむこうのもっと遠く……
山のなかにあるしずかなみずうみは
せかいをうつす水鏡
小舟でそっとこぎだせば
そこは世界の中心です。
読む人の五感を呼び覚ます絵本作家・山﨑優子の詩情あふれる一冊。
言葉では語り尽くせない圧倒的で寡黙な自然の美しさと、その中で自由にうつろう人の心情を、静謐(せいひつ)な絵と、優しくいやしに満ちた詩で表現した絵本です。
まるでそこにあるのが秘密のような、音をたてたら消えてしまいそうな、はるか遠くの山の奥にある静かな湖(みずうみ)……。
朝靄のなか聞こえてくるのは、かすかな水音。起き出した水鳥がゆらゆら波をたてると、星空色の魚は夜とともに姿を隠す。
そんなひっそりと静寂な夜明けの湖に、そっと小舟でこぎ出すと……。
著者が北海道の然別湖(しかりべつこ)で体験した神秘的なまでに美しい夜明けのひと時を、シンプルで詩のようにつむいだ言葉と、寡黙な中にさまざまな仕掛けに満ちたイラストレーションに織り込みました。
おとなも子どもも、雑多な情報が洪水のように溢れるあわただしい日常を離れ、たったひと時、大いなる自然に身を任せ、自ら(みずから)の感覚だけにそっと身をゆだねると、失いつつある自分自身の感性をいつのまにか取り戻すことができるでしょう。

What is ZenPlus?
ZenPlus is an online shopping platform connecting Japan with the rest of the world. We're part of the ZenGroup, Inc. umbrella in Osaka, Japan.

Are items authentic?
Our sellers' agreement fully compels all stores to list only authentic items. We help you buy exclusive and authentic items from Japan, online!

Do you ship to my country?
We ship to all countries where Japan Post air freight services and international couriers currently operate. We don't use surface mail.

How long does shipping take?
Domestic shipments generally reach our warehouse in a few days, but may in certain specific cases take a week or more. International shipments can take anywhere from several days to several weeks to reach you after leaving our warehouse, depending on if you choose Standard or Express shipping.
Please contact our support team from the Questions section on your account page if you have any questions about the timing of your parcel.

How much is shipping?
Shipping costs depend on the size, weight, and destination of your parcel. We provide shipping costs for your order at checkout.

Will I be charged a customs (import) fee?
It depends on your country and its customs regulations. Our service does not cover duties and import taxes — in general, if the customs office in your country applies charges to your package, you are required to pay them.
