About this title

Synopsis:

Taniguchi's most cherished title: a book in which nothing happens but everything occurs.

The Walking Man follows a modern day Japanese business man as he strolls at random through urban Japan often silent, usually alone with his vivid dreams that let time stand still. Join him as he climbs a tree in bare feet, takes time out to observe the birds, plays in the puddles after the rain and returns a shell to the sea.

this edition contains 4 extra stories and 28 pages in colour, and gives a highly original sense of reading.
