Nesta edição, juntamos toda a admiração que os japoneses têm pela natureza, expressa nas estações em forma de contos que tem alguma relação com a primavera, o verão, o outono e o inverno, seja ela mais íntima, apenas um cenário ou quem sabe relações sutis do enredo... Foram selecionados 33 contos fantásticos tradicionais japoneses que, de alguma forma indicam as estações em que ocorrem ou mesmo tem uma relação intricadas com elas. Parte desses contos vem de antigos registros como Otogizôshi e avulsos do período Muromachi (séc XIV-XVI), contando também com registros do século XIX e início do XX feitos por Richard Gordon Smith, Yei Theodora Ozeki e Grace James, além de um conto de um dos mais renomados escritores japoneses, Natsume Sôseki e um registro do poeta e monge Inô Sôgi.
