The tale Akamanma Toge is the story of a girl who stays with her grandparents in the countryside while her mother is in the hospital to give birth. In this illustration, the girl holding the bracken appears almost as if she were melting into the light green background of the spring field, which has suddenly started sprouting with life. With mixed feelings of uncertainty, hope and loneliness, the expression on the face that looks straight ahead conveys a sense of fortitude.
