LOVE

In this book, Yuki shares the journey of leaving behind a stable life after breaking up with her boyfriend and quitting her job, setting off on a trip to Europe with only €35. Using her only skill, "Calligraphy" she sold art on the streets to make a living while wandering. Through her four-month adventure, she encountered many people, and through them, she discovered the beauty and love present in the world.

During her travels, Yuki encountered countless moments of connection, miracles, and the kindness and love of others, all while discovering the beauty of the world. Each page captures the world she saw, the events that unfolded, and her emotions, all accompanied by raw, unfiltered photos from her journey. This book is not only an essay but also a collection that invites readers to experience the journey through her eyes.

Yuki’s story shows that the world is full of love and that beauty and love can be found anywhere, at any moment.

仕事を辞め、口座残高6000円でヨーロッパ放浪の旅に出て、道端でアートを売りながら4ヶ月間生き延びた私の、人生初のエッセイ本。

人々の優しさに支えられ、愛で生かされた私が、この旅で1番感じたのは

「世界は愛でできている」ということ。

どこにいても、どんな瞬間にも、世界の美しさや愛を見出せることをどうしても伝えたくて、私が見た景色、感じたこと、人々との出会いを綴ったこの本を通して、1人でも多くの人に「愛」を届けることを心に決めました。

エッセイ本ではあるけれど、世界中の写真がぎっしりと詰まった、全ページカラー印刷の写真集のような一冊です。
