Une Île Pluvieuse

“The sea is the place where a fisherman earns his living, a rippling field where, instead of waving heads of rice or wheat, the white and formless harvest of waves is forever swaying above the unrelieved blueness of a sensitive and shifting soil.”

Inspired by Yukio Mishima’s 1950s novella The Sound of Waves (Shiosai), Une Île Pluvieuse conveys the mystique of a lovers’ tryst down a pathway drenched in rain, veiled in mist, scented by the sea spray, and bejeweled by the forest flora, on a faraway island in Japan.
