Tras varios intentos extraños y frustrantes de ordenar su comida, los cazadores se percatan de que el restaurante no es lo que parece. Finalmente, descubren que está dirigido por animales que disfrutan confundiendo y asustando a los humanos. Logran escapar sin conseguir su comida, reflexionando sobre la bizarra e inquietante experiencia que acaban de vivir. Kenji Miyazawa falleció el 21 de septiembre de 1933. La primera edición de su libro “El restaurante donde se hacen muchos pedidos” fue publicada en 1924.
Author
His name is written as 宮沢賢治 in Japanese, and translated as 宮澤賢治 in Traditional Chinese. Kenji Miyazawa (1896-1933) was born in Iwate, one of the northernmost prefectures in Japan. In high school, he studied Zen Buddhism and developed a lifelong devotion to the Lotus Sutra, a major influence on his writing. After graduating from an agricultural college, he moved to Tokyo to begin his writing career but had to return home to care for a sick sister. He remained in his home in Iwate for the rest of his life. One of his best-known works is the novel Night on the Galactic Railroad, which was adapted into anime in the late twentieth century, as were many of his short stories. Much of his poetry is still popular in Japan today.
