A humourous short story mainly for children in which Miyazawa utilised his imagination which was ahead of his time where the message is perhaps not to be so trusting and to exercise caution as what appears to be the case may be anything but.
Miyazawa Kenji's imaginative universe, his way of seeing and describing this world, is unique and compelling. His stories often dont make much sense and rarely progess to any important action or point. Nonetheless, his descriptions are a joy to read.
The Restaurant of Many Orders is particularly exciting and deliciously ironic.

Inspired by Hayao Miyazaki, I started to read classic novels for children.
Kenji Miyazawa must influence Miyazaki. Fantastic, beautiful and imaginative world. I love it so much.
