The Beginning
A blue flower in a quiet forest.
Auwa Illustrated Stories
An illustrated story
Auwa is the brand. Auwa is also a small luminous being who arrives in the first illustrated book by Eko Maeda. The same name, in two places. One philosophy, written down twice: once for the world we live in, and once for a world drawn by hand.
“In one of countless galaxies, a small blue planet was waiting.”

What Auwa does
Every living thing has a Kokoro: heart, mind, soul, spirit, all held as one. You cannot see it. But when Auwa’s light touches it, a flower glows, a coral hums, the forest remembers itself.
