Sato the Rabbit, A Sea of Tea

Sato is gazing into his cup of tea when the shimmers of the liquid become a sea — and there he is, paddling on a mint leaf with his spoon as the oar. He pokes the setting sun with his spoon, fries it up, flips it, and eats the lovely pancake it has become. This is how Sato moves through the world: ordinary things becoming portals to something else entirely. Originally published in Japanese, this third installment in the trilogy — published by Enchanted Lion — is a collection of quiet vignettes, each one a foray into Sato's singular imagination.
