Set in the 16th century, the tale recounts the encounter between João Afonso, a Portuguese travelling poet, and Hiromoto, a Japanese man of very different thought and geography. The story reflects on the exchange of ideas, distance and the discovery of the other, showing how two cultures can recognise each other.

Suitable for independent reading in the 3rd cycle; may also appeal to those who appreciate short stories about the encounter between cultures.
