内容简介：

该绘本主要描绘了一个位于雅托地区有着150年历史的农舍，这里周围基本都是平缓的山丘和山谷。本书通过农舍附近伫立的十六罗汉石像的讲述展开，茅草屋顶的农舍刚开始周围还只有稻田、田野和森林；后来，农舍便被铁路、百货公司和公寓楼所包围，屋顶也由茅草变成了瓦片。发生在农舍的播种和打谷，孩子们的嬉戏，节日庆祝，婚礼和葬礼的举行都被详细地描绘了出来。本书的后记中提及到，位于东京西南部的多摩山为本书创作时参考的原型。

This picture book portrays 150 years in the life of a farmhouse in a yato area, with gently sloping hills and valleys. The book is narrated by stone statues of the sixteen arhats (disciples of the historical Buddha) that stand nearby. The farmhouse with thatched roof is first surrounded by rice paddies, fields, and forests; later, it becomes enclosed by a monorail, department store, and condominiums and apartment buildings. It is given a tiled roof. Planting and threshing processes, children’s play, festivals, weddings, funerals, and development are all depicted in detail. Until a certain period, wild birds and animals also visit the stone statues. The back matter contains detailed explanations, including about the Tama Hills in southwest Tokyo/northeast Kanagawa, which served as the model for this book.
