Otoha River Musings: An Everyday Essay Collection, "Teacher on the Road"

This essay collection feels like the kind of nostalgic stories you'd overhear from an old man at an izakaya counter.

I believe this booklet will be a great companion when you can't sleep and have nothing to do, or when you're looking for something to enjoy with your drink.

Stories about a haiku teacher.
Random thoughts that unspool when your bank account runs dry.
Memories of oiling the floors in high school.
A friend's house that had become like a manga cafe.

And so on—all seemingly trivial stories.

But are they really so trivial?

Perhaps sometimes it's good to pause and reflect on them deeply.

There might be nothing profound, but isn't that perfectly fine? (From the publisher's website)
