The Walking Man Author:Jiro Taniguchi, Shizuka Shimoyama (Translator), Elizabeth Tierman (Translator) Who takes the time these days to climb a tree in bare feet? To stop and observe birds? Play in puddles after a storm? Go down to the sea to return a shell? The Walking Man does as he strolls at random through urban Japan -- often silent, usually alone -- with his vivid dreams that let time stand still.
