Kino's Journey tells the story of the young adventurer Kino, who travels the world on Hermes, a talking motorcycle, spending no more and no less than three days at each stop. Throughout their travels, Kino and Hermes are observers of new cultures, witness to both the differences and the similarities of peoples around the world.
Adapted from Keiichi Sigsawa's best-selling novels, this stylish, thought-provoking tale promises to grab hold of the audience's imagination, challenging expectations and stereotypes as it focuses on the discovery of beauty in things not beautiful.
Kino is a traveler
Sitting astride the back
Of an internal combustion companion -
Drifting through the beautiful world,
The ground rolling beneath, before and beyond;
This is their journey.
Across borders they meander -
Appreciating the generous,
Surviving the dangerous,
Witnessing the whims of mankind,
Staying their welcome
Sometimes too long,
Sometimes too short;
But always the same three days.
Wedding guns, knives, and a piercing wit,
Kino travels along -
Knowing luck, knowing silence,
And knowing when to disappear.
Drift along for the ride.
