Directed by Izuru Narushima, this powerful biopic details the life of legendary poet and novelist Kenji Miyazawa, one of Japan's most beloved children's authors. As the eldest son of Masajiro, a wealthy pawnbroker and modern man of the Meiji era, Kenji was raised with the expectation that he would one day inherit the family business. However, the free-spirited Kenji is determined to walk his own path in life, and takes it upon himself to pursue agricultural studies, synthetic gemstones and other eccentric ventures.
