Goffstein BOX set special feature
The BOX set I really want!
Five box sets have been released so far in M.B. Goffstein's run-up of Tonkachi. In the world of music, legendary musicians sometimes release box sets of their past masterpieces, but in the world of picture books, Goffstein may be the only one in the world to release box sets one after another! Each box set is a complete collector's edition with premium extras. Buy while you can, you won't regret it.
Tonkachi's Goffstein always starts by thinking about the box set. In other words, I want a box set like this! That's what I came up with and the staff liked it! If you don't make a face like that, we won't decide to publish it. The reason for this is just my personal opinion, but when I look at Goffstein's books, and now that he is in heaven, the books published in the past are once again being presented to people. If it were to be given out, I'm sure it would be fun to have something like a box set like this, a special gift with an assortment of various items! I think it would be great if there was a book that would offer flowers, and there should be one! And wouldn't it be boring without one? That's because I think it's a bit of a waste of time. Due to various reasons, it becomes an expensive product, and I feel sorry for that, and because of that, it doesn't sell a lot, but it's still worth making, and I have to make it, and I'm doing it for myself. If Goffstein's works are always new, I think it's okay to remaster them in any way, and to deliver them in a new form to a new era.

About BOX set
In addition to the Japanese version of the picture book, a ceramic plate and its special multi-stand are included in a cloth-lined collector's box. The pattern on the plate is a picture of a girl opening a door, which was used on the cover of the original picture book "NATURAL HISTORY". The work, which has been out of print since its Japanese version was published in 1990 under the title "Living Things" (translator: Shuntaro Tanikawa), has been remade with a new translation and new design.
About the content of the picture book
The story travels through time and space, starting with vivid depictions of space, war, poverty, nature, the animals that live there, and even us sleeping peacefully under the moonlight, like a gaze falling from the sky. A story of a soul adrift in search of its true way of life. Too cute pictures and too serious and grand ideas. This is a picture book where the two coexist.

About BOX set
``ACROSS THE SEA'' is a fantastic picture book published in 1968 that had not been published in Japan. In addition to the Japanese version titled "Beyond the Sea", the box set includes a reprint of the original (English version) and "Miracle Letter", and is specially designed with the blue of the sea in mind. It's in a box. I knew from the beginning that I wanted Yuriko Ishida to translate this book, and this is a miraculous book that understood her thoughts. Although this was Ms. Ishida's first translation, she completed an impressive translation, and graciously took it out of her hands and handed it over to us. Get a feel for Goffstein's work through his clean, stripped-down words and lines.
About the content of the picture book
This picture bookIt consists of five independent stories. The story begins with an old man and I meeting across time and space on the other side of the sea, and ends with the story of a voracious bird that appears in a deserted windmill. This story, which seems to be connected to each other but is not clearly connected, is connected by the sea, the sky, and memories, and in the quiet everyday life, when you reach out your hand as hard as you can, you will reach it just a few centimeters away. This is a story about that kind of hope.

The set includes an English version of the picture book, a guidebook for understanding the English version, and a stuffed sheep that faithfully reproduces the sheep that appears in the story. Anyway, I adjusted the small details based on the "perfectly cute" original version. This is a box set that focuses on Goffstein's "cuteness".
