Mukashi no Hanashi

昔の話

Mukashi no Hanashi is a collection of seven short stories that explore the boundaries between the ordinary and the supernatural. In one tale, an angel born from a daughter and her mother's lover recalls the circumstances of her birth. Another follows a girl who dreams the same dreary dream every night until she meets a blind man who describes a blue sky, prompting her to search for it. A third story tells of a black angel named Lily who, having grown up admiring the white angels with their pleasant duties, decides she wants to become one herself.

Other stories delve into human emotions and their consequences. An art student, envious of a classmate who always places first, snaps at him and later realizes how wrong she was. A depressed girl, noticing her kitten is pregnant, works hard to earn money to care for the kittens, only to face tragedy. A dreamer finds her body parts turning to bread, and a man searches for his true love. Throughout the collection, Fujiwara weaves together themes of longing, regret, and the search for meaning, often blending the real with the fantastical to create a haunting and introspective atmosphere.
