About...
The little spider Nana didn’t like the way of weaving a web that her mother had taught her. She didn’t want to make a nest that looked the same, so she quarreled with her mother and left home.
On her journey, Nana discovered many different kinds of “nets”—those of plants, insects, and even human society. As she traveled, she grew little by little. In the end, she was able to weave her own ideal spider’s web. That also became the key to making peace with her mother.

The capsule toy machines are divided into three themes: the plant world, the insect world, and human society, in line with the story’s content. Each machine corresponds to a different scene, and within this framework, the book can be enjoyed starting from any page.
This project first began as a series of five illustrations, which I submitted to several picture book competitions and received awards.
Later, I developed the story further and refined the visuals to create a complete picture book.
The idea came from something I saw in Hong Kong in 2019: a tiny spider quietly weaving its web in front of a flower shop. The fragile web shone in the sunlight against the backdrop of sturdy buildings, creating a striking contrast. I’ve always been a little afraid of how spiders look, but at that moment I was struck by the beauty of what I saw. From the spider’s point of view, I wanted to explore the many different “webs” in our world and share their quiet charm with readers.
