This is the first collection of works by artist Uchida Wataru. During the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, where he is based, small sketches he made during the days when his activities were significantly restricted were enlarged and reconstructed to create a coloring book. The surreal worldview where fiction and reality mix, the humorous expressions of animal motifs, and the simple, colorless line drawings resonate with landscapes that we know but have forgotten somewhere in our memories. At the end of the book, there are two essays: "External Memory Trash Can" by the author himself, and "Recycling Memories" by the publisher.
