Our protagonist, or more accurately, our narrator, Yuki, is forcibly given a job in a small village in the mountains, where he is taught the skill of forestry. The way of life described in this area is very laidback and rural, with few modern conveniences, but the townsfolk have a deep connection to nature and the mountain upon which they reside. Yuki slowly learns about forestry, life in the village, and the people and their traditions. There's a bit of magical realism thrown in, with the gods of Mt. Kamusari making themselves known here and there. Overall it was a nice read, nothing too dramatic or exciting, but just comfortable and warm. After leaving his Yokohama high school, Yuki Hirano drifts along with no initiative or motivation until his parents enrol him in an apprenticeship programme and he is sent to Kamusari, a tiny mountain village in the back of beyond, to learn forestry. Charming tale of city boy maturing and learning skills in the countryside.. Although I don't find forestry as interesting as lexicography, I learnt a lot from this possibly romanticised view of the Japanese forestry and timber industry. I will certainly keep an eye open for the sequel, but having watched the trailer on YouTube, I will probably give the film a miss. Yuki’s parents ship him to learn forestry in Kamusari since he lacks any direction following his high school graduation. Given a brief lesson in using a chainsaw he becomes part of a forestry crew caring for and loving trees on the Kamusari mountains. I adored the descriptions of the trees and what it took to care for them, and the boy’s story arc as well. A mostly quiet peaceful read, I highly recommend it. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Yuki Hirano is just out of high school when his parents enroll him, against his will, in a forestry training program in the remote mountain village of Kamusari. No phone, no internet, no shopping. Just a small, inviting community where the most common expression is 'take it easy.' At first, Yuki is exhausted, fumbles with the tools, asks silly questions and feels like an outcast. Kamusari is the last place a city boy from Yokohama wants to spend a year of his life. But as resistant as he might be, the scent of the cedars and the staggering beauty of the region have a pull. Yuki learns to fell trees and plant saplings. He begins to embrace local festivals, he's mesmerized by legends of the mountain, and he might be falling in love. In learning to respect the forest on Mt Kamusari for its majestic qualities and its inexplicable secrets, Yuki starts to appreciate Kamusari's harmony with nature and its ancient traditions.

Narrated by Yuki, the story meanders along over a year or so of him working and living in this community. Readers get a lot of fascinating details of forestry techniques, and are introduced to several of the townspeople that Yuki meets along the way. A comfortable, quiet read with moments of humor. ( )
