🇫🇷 Farewell to Paris North Station [Reading] Kanoko Okamoto "To the Son of Paris" 

Thank you for watching this channel.
A series that presents Japanese essays and novels of the past, as well as recitations of famous texts related to Paris and France, accompanied by landscapes.
This time, I would like to introduce Kanoko Okamoto's "To the Son of Paris".
Okamoto Kanoko (1889-1939) was a poet and novelist active in the Taisho and Showa periods.
Her son Taro is Taro Okamoto (1911-1996), a leading Japanese artist.
The video shows the Gare du Nord station in July 2023.
The morning when the vacation started and there were more passengers than usual.
The upper floor was lined with people riding the Eurostar connecting Paris and London.
The shop also has official goods from the Tour de France and the Paris Olympics, which is timely.
This is the North Station in Paris, 86 years after the work to be read this time was announced.
