Naomi Tanaka, an unsuccessful painter, has lived in the suburbs of Tokyo for 20 years. Cold man-made structures and abundant nature, deep darkness and merciless fluorescent lights, human warmth and an unidentifiable malice...the chaos of "Musashino," where everything is left as it is, sometimes coddles her, sometimes pushes her away, and eventually leads her to the other side of loneliness...The second installment in the solitary journey series by the author of "Dead City Chofu"!
