Enter a secret wonderland in the sky where Japanese legends come to life.

Twelve-year-old Jonty desperately wants an adventure – and then he meets a talking bonobo who invites him to enter a magical world behind a Japanese Memory gate. There, he'll get to collect memories from the time his gramps was a famous primatologist... and soon, his adventure begins.

In a world filled with mischievous Japanese beings, Jonty must battle to collect his grandfather's memories – but there's an evil sky pirate crew who are hellbent on destroying the memories for good... Can Jonty battle the pirate crew before time runs out and the wadokei watch-clock strikes?

To celebrate the publication of Kamizen: Fortress of Lost Memories, an enchanting fantasy adventure for ages 9+, written by debut author William Yamaguchi Dobson and illustrated by Sawa, we're giving away a signed copy and a bundle of delicious matcha flavoured snacks from Japan Centre, including matcha tea, pocky, mochi, and more!
