FRENCH LANGUAGE
In "L'Arbre de Sobo" (The Sobo tree), the narrator, Kimi, recounts the singular bond that united her to her missing grandmother, Sobo. Sobo was an excellent cook and above all an extraordinary embroiderer. During her vacation at Sobo's house, Kimi learned from him how to embroider designs for sumptuous kimonos. When Sobo joined the spirits, becoming a "Kami" herself, Kimi took her destiny into her own hands... With infinite gentleness and great sensitivity, this initiatory tale tells us about universal subjects: the transmission of knowledge and the loss of a loved one.
