This is an essay collection, "Boku no Kaeru Kawa" (My Returning River), by Tomo Udo, a pioneer in the Japanese canoeing and outdoor world. This book (BE-PAL BOOKS) is a compilation of the "Nonbiri Ikouze" series, which was serialized in Shogakukan's outdoor magazine "BE-PAL" from 1996 to 1999. Filled with Udo's characteristic free and powerful words, it depicts Japan and the world from the perspective of a river, journeys with his beloved dog, and suggestions for modern society. It's the perfect book to take on a camping trip or journey, or to enjoy at home when you want to feel nature. First edition, first printing, published in 2000. Recommended for those looking for a hardcover size to enjoy the photos and binding, rather than a paperback edition.
