"14 forest mice" is a very popular series of books in Japan and many European countries about the beauty of everyday life and about the life of three generations of the mouse family: grandmothers, grandfathers, moms, dads and a dozen more mice. A great way to learn about the New Year traditions of Japan is to cook their favorite New Year's dish, rice cakes, together with a large mouse family, step by step. Kazuo Iwamura's books resemble miniature dollhouses, in which you want to examine and touch every detail, and every little event is filled with true Japanese philosophy and admiring life in every moment of it.
