第一章 · Chapter One
Their world is small,
and mostly night.
A wooden house at the edge of a paper forest. A kettle that’s always on. A sky that, if you watched it long enough, would slowly turn its pages.
第二章 · The Family
よ ん に ん の か ぞ く
父
Otou
— the father
Quiet, steady, and always up before sunrise. He checks the weather for no reason — there is never anywhere they need to be.
母
Okaa
— the mother
She knows which drawer the scissors are in. She also knows when you need tea without you saying so.
姉
Anika
— the older sister
Draws maps of places that don’t exist. Keeps a notebook of things she means to say and never does.
弟
Mu-Chan
— the little brother
Technically a member of the family. Has opinions about sleeping arrangements and no plans to change them.
“Some nights it’s enough
to be small, and warm,
and looking up together.”
第三章 · Stories

第四章 · About
Who draws all this?
Hoshikuzu (星屑 — “stardust”) is a family of four mascots — Otou, Okaa, Anika and Mu-Chan — and a small studio that makes their stories. Drawn slowly, by hand, mostly at night.

Thank you for stopping by. We’ve put the kettle on. Come back when the moon is full, or whenever you like, really.
