Bride Stories #15

Kaoru Mori's beloved series of Central Asian life and marriage continues with this fifteenth volume, published by Ki-oon in 2025. The cover presents a warmly rendered pastoral scene — a young woman in richly embroidered traditional dress cradling a white lamb, while an older figure carries a bucket nearby, sheep and a donkey grazing in the soft, hazy distance behind them. Mori's extraordinary eye for textile detail and everyday human warmth is on full display, making this volume feel like a quiet, intimate celebration of rural community and the rhythms of life.
