この「世界」の輪郭を確認したかった。
一九七三年、十二歳の少年は、熱に浮かされたように、日本全国への旅を始めた。
デゴイチ(D51)、シゴナナ(C57)などと呼ばれた、消えゆく蒸気機関車を追いかける旅の中で、少年は「忘れえぬ人びと」「忘れえぬ風景」と出会う。中学卒業までの四年間に繰り返した北海道や沖縄などへの旅を通して、少年の「世界」は広がっていく。
著者撮影の写真、当時の切符類なども多数掲載。
「いま自分が立つ世界が、どこまで、どんなふうに続いているか。見知らぬ町や村で、どんな人たちが、何をして働き、食べ、暮らしているのか? 自分で出向いて、この「世界」の輪郭を確認したかった」(本書より)

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.
