(3) K-3 Tales of the World series. Illustrated by Yan Nascimbene. Yuki and her mother must travel to Edo (Tokyo) when Yuki's father, a provincial governor, is called there by the shogun. In straightforward narration and descriptive haiku, Yuki observes the ancient Japanese countryside; she also describes the men who transport the traveling party and goods on their backs. Serene and expansive illustrations enhance the story of Yuki's journey.
