Winner of the Best Illustrator Award for Grand Design in the Czech Republic.
While living with two cats, the grandfather and grandmother, who run a Aizome studio, were worried about the lack of a successor who passed down the traditional skills. On Sunday's walk, they found a doll with completely dirty red hair. Strangely, the doll that was washed neatly turns into a hungry girl one day later and is named "Apolenka," which means "Girl of Light." Then life begins in the Apolenka studio. Seeing her grandfather's work and the blue color of indigo dyeing liquor that is as deep as the universe, she realizes her mission and decides to preserve the tradition of Aizome.
It is a story that conveys the spirit of Aizome tradition and technique that has been preserved for generations while being loved by the local people, along with beautiful watercolor illustrations that express its character.
