What unexpected things can be found in a sleeping forest? This poetic picture book is composed of photographs of winter buds that resemble all manner of faces. Eyes and mouths are formed by the remnants of the tiny tubes through which the now-fallen leaves were once fed; buds waiting to sprout create curious hairstyles and other facial arrangements. The text was written by the celebrated painter and illustrator Cho Shinta, and the book has gone through 36 editions in Japan. They are, they are — buds!
