 Sanaka Hiiragi's The Lantern of Lost Memories shares the story of a secret photo studio that is a portal to the afterlife. Told in three loosely connected chapters, we meet Hirasaka who creates a special lantern of memories to guide each person through death. Beautifully reflective, The Lantern of Lost Memories helps each person see their life in a more compassionate light, which is a measure of grace each of us deserves.
