Yoshiichi Hara's most recent book, published in November, 2011, is in a similar vein to his other books -- that is it's hard to pin down a subject matter or a message. But what is not hard to pin down are the wonderful connections Hara is able to get from such seemingly disparate material.

The title is a phrase that came to Hara in one of his dreams, and 15 years after conceiving it he came upon a nearly identical phrase in a Tolstoy novel.
