A letter that will continue for thirty years, even a hundred years
Regeneration and recovery, where things that were thought to be irreversible return

The letter was a message from Nana, sent by 'Runny Nose', who had returned from a period of refuge, while looking after the inside and outside of the house that was in disarray with the dog that was still guarding the place.
As we read the letter, feeling the wind blowing from somewhere along the sketches of each day by the runny nose, we see the things that this house cherished, yet broken, yet new life sprouting in the daily life with holes, and the sight of the cuckoo clock's stopped time flowing again.
Those who have been lost, running away, desperately waiting for something, or who have come to that house with the false hope that everything will be okay, like the runny nose, face the moment when what they thought was irreversible returns.
An olive tree, bent by bombing, sends out its light green shoots to greet us.


Even lives with holes have a purpose and meaning.
The things that hold on to our lives and raise us up amidst the things that are broken and disappearing

"To Nana Olive" is filled with beautiful things that hold on to our lives and raise us up even amidst things that are broken and disappearing.
The feeling of picking up berries for fear that the dog might eat them and get a stomachache, and as I pick up the berries, I sweep the dust, and as I sweep the dust, I end up tidying the house; the training wheels the boy makes for the dog with an injured leg even in those helpless moments when I can do nothing; the body heat of people clinging to each other under the night sky seen through the hole in the ceiling; the small sounds of a door being repaired and useless things coming together.

As author Ruri revealed, this story was initially intended to be a war story, with the house as the main character, but it ultimately evolved into a story about survival.
The author, who wanted to find a place where even a life full of holes has a purpose and meaning, built an olive tree house.
And Nana's embrace, which embraced the runny nosed dog and puppy that ran into the door of the house, created a chain of love that continues even after many years.
From Nana to the runny nose, from the runny nose to the lion head and May, to the boy and the soldier, and to other beings.?

The pictures, which change according to the speaker's voice and the texture of the text, such as letters and albums, draw the reader deeper into the story.
The story, where words and pictures become one, starts with a letter written by Nana to Nana, an album left by Nana to Nana, letters from those who met Nana in the olive tree house, and moves on to the final scene where light pours down on the leaves of the olive tree, filling the whole body with a deep emotion.
?
It was a story that started when I was lost and had to figure out what to find.
I hoped that there was a place where even broken and hollow lives had a purpose and meaning, and so they could all survive in the end.
But in the end, what kept me alive was the story of human life._Ruri

Like the key marks that fill the doorposts
A story that is added and added to

As the wind carries you, you cross the threshold of the olive tree house and what unfolds before your eyes is revealed.
Nana and Olive looking at the wind's back, dogs sniffing the wind with their noses up, the door that's always open and the flapping of butterflies' wings taking a short break.
The key marks that fill the doorpost there.
The past, the present, and the future that has not yet arrived are all intertwined.
So the story of the olive tree house will not end, but will be added to and added to.

The dogs raise their noses to the wind.
I close my eyes and stretch out my hand to feel the direction of the wind.
It's over there.
We all look at the back of the wind together.
It just flows.
All of us.

May the wind carry us.
