Bunshun Bunko / Can Broken Families Become One Again? Winner of the 8th High School Student Naoki Prize (2021)! This is a story about the "thread of the heart" of three generations of parents and children about "Homespan," a cloth that transcends time, dyed, spun and woven wool by hand. The only source of heart for Mio, a second year high school student who was unable to go to school due to bullying, is the red homespan shawl given by his grandparents. However, he quarrels with his mother over this shawl, and Mio goes to his grandfather in Morioka City, Iwate. By working with his grandfather, Mio knows the preciousness of the craftsmen's feelings. On the other hand, in Tokyo Prefecture where Mio was absent, there was a talk of divorce between his father and mother. "Homespan matures and grows not as old as the times. It overlaps with the way of life and the relationship woven by the family, and I wrote the 』 that spins the 『 cloud." As the author says, this book gently wraps the hearts of readers. As a special bonus for the paperback edition, the spin-off short story "Kaze Seppa no Iro" (published in "Iwate da Vinci") is included at the end. Jiro Kitakami
