SOLITUDE GUIDE

Loneliness is often a negative word, many people in the world suffer from loneliness. But in many Asian countries, more and more people live alone. In Japan, Japanese men are the most lonely group in the world, 16.7% of Japanese do not go out at all with friends. But lonely people are more sensitive to art, loneliness gives people more freedom, in this age of social networking, being alone is becoming more and more precious I would like to give loneliness a positive identity and enhance its active side, change people's perception of solitude. I made a book with illustrations, the content is like a “guide to living alone”. It’s an absurd and funny book, to let readers know and get it done.

Greatness means: to give a direction. No river is great and bounteous through itself alone, but rather because it takes up so many tributaries and carries them onwards: that makes it great. It is the same with all great minds. All that matters is that one man gives the direction, which the many tributaries must then follow; it does not matter whether he is poorly or richly endowed in the beginning. The one necessary thing. A person. must have one or the other: either a disposition which is easygoing by nature, or a disposition eased by art and knowledge.
