SOLVED. Main character studying clouds and story of Japanese character [s]

[Ala]

Hi,

I am looking for the name of a book. I remember the main character was studying clouds, there was a Japanese character that turned out to be 20 years older than he thought and who lived through the bombing in Hiroshima. That's all i remember, sorry!

When did you read it or when was it published? Do you remember the cover? Was the author Japanese? Was it written in Japanese originally?

It's not a Japanese author I think European, and a woman. I think it was written sometime in the 2000's. I read a translation and it had a sky with white clouds on the cover.

Ala, who was the main character studying clouds - gender, Japanese?, age, job, background, etc.?

Does the entire story take place in Japan? Around what time period?
Is this story for adults or teens?

The Theory of Clouds by Stéphane Audeguy?
