Beloved for the simple grace of its artwork as much as the poetic elegance of its text (adapted by Midori Motohashi), \u003ci\u003eThe Garden of Words\u003c\/i\u003e begins with a chance, rainswept encounter between Takao, a young man who dreams of becoming a shoe designer, and Yukari, an enigmatic woman he finds sitting alone, nursing a beer on a park bench. The spare interaction of these two lonely souls sparks a spiritual transformation for the young man, and perhaps the woman as well. As this intriguing, understated story unfolds, their lives will become further intertwined amid rain, beer, school, and shoe cobbling. Words are not often necessary, but in this case just a few words can make a difference in one's heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Makoto Shinkai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1939130832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781939130839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vertical Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Makoto Shinkai","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050896191743,"sku":"9781939130839","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f28dcf75-e840-4fc9-8e44-199a4e98a2ea.jpg?v=1685009880","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-garden-of-words-makoto-shinkai-9781939130839","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
