Shimonoseki, lying to the east of glittering Seto Inland Sea and west of the vast expanse of Japanese Sea, has always been the home of beautiful scenery and town of cultural prosperity. There are delicious puffer fish dishes, bizarre myths and legends, poetry trails once walked by Misuzu Kaneko as well as voiceless sound from China。

The author expresses more than ten years' life experience in Shimonoseki, takes us into the picturesque scenery and leisurely history of Shimonosekiwith delicate strokes and sentimental mind and lets us enjoy a different Shimonoseki.
