Summary
Kino no Tabi – The Beautiful World, also known as Kino's Journey, follows the adventures of Kino and their talking motorcycle Hermes as they journey through various countries, spending only three days in each. This light novel, originally in Japanese, delves into themes of adventure, drama, fantasy, mystery, psychological exploration, and sci-fi elements. With a philosophical undertone, Kino encounters happiness, sadness, violence, and wisdom, all while maintaining a sense of freedom in an imperfect world that they find to be beautiful.
Description
Destination is a state of mind. A tale of a person and a bike and the road ahead. Kino wanders around the world on the back of Hermes – an unusual, talking, anthropomorphic motorcycle – only staying in each country for three days.
During their adventures, they find happiness, sadness, pain, decadence, violence, beauty, and wisdom. But through it all, they never lose their sense of freedom. They discover that because of the world’s imperfections, it is actually a thing of beauty. “The world is not beautiful, therefore it is.”
