Synopsis "Tree: My Encounters with Trees"

'Translated into English for the first time after a hugely successful 2022 reissue in Japan, this classic text, which features prominently in Wim Wenders’ film Perfect Days, takes us on a “beautiful, pensive” journey through trees in Japan.'--Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller


A Japanese classic, Tree invites us to foster peace in our lives by connecting with trees.

Cherry blossom, hinoki, ezo spruce. Persimmon, maple, cypress. The trees of Japan are wondrous emblems of beauty that cast a spell on those who venture to its unique landscape.

As a child, Aya Kōda realized they were more than mere objects of beauty. Gifted a sapling by her father, she discovered that we depend on trees as much as they do on us. Markers of time passing, they clear the air and regenerate our earth – while we are responsible to care for their future.

Following her travels around Japan, as she witnesses landslides, lumber and forests of falling ash, Tree is a beautiful series of essays that contemplate the most distinctive and eternal features of our natural world. A modern classic translated for the first time, Kōda’s voice echoes down the generations, to remind us that trees hold a mirror to what we cherish on earth, and what we choose to leave behind.

Featured in Wim Winders’ Oscar-nominated film Perfect Days and now in English for the first time, translated from Japanese by Charlotte Goff.

Aya Kōda fue una de las voces más singulares de la literatura japonesa del siglo XX. Nacida en Tokio en 1904 como hija del célebre escritor Rohan Kōda, desarrolló una obra profundamente ligada a la observación de la vida cotidiana, la naturaleza y las relaciones familiares. Comenzó a publicar relativamente tarde, tras años marcados por pérdidas personales, dificultades económicas y el cuidado de su padre durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Su estilo, sobrio y preciso, transformó experiencias comunes en reflexiones de enorme sensibilidad, especialmente sobre la memoria, el paso del tiempo y la fragilidad humana. En Japón es considerada una autora de enorme refinamiento literario, aunque fuera de su país tardó décadas en recibir la atención que merecía.

Entre sus obras más reconocidas se encuentran Nagareru, Otōto y el libro de ensayos Árbol (Ki o Tree), una meditación íntima sobre los árboles, los paisajes y el vínculo emocional entre seres humanos y naturaleza. Este último recuperó visibilidad internacional gracias a la película Perfect Days de Wim Wenders, donde aparece leído por el protagonista. Kōda recibió el Premio Yomiuri, el Premio Shinchō y el Premio de la Academia Japonesa de Arte, consolidando una trayectoria admirada por su honestidad emocional y su mirada casi artesanal sobre el lenguaje. Sus textos tienen la calma de alguien que observa una rama moverse… y logra convertir eso en literatura de alto nivel.
