Matasaburo on the Wind

This beautiful tale is set in a small mountain village in the early 1920s. Fatherless Karin, who lives alone with her ailing mother, meets and befriends Saburo Takada, nicknamed "Mata Saburo of Wind". She and her classmates gradually realize that he has superhuman powers, and he becomes her protector. Escaping horses, attacked fish, the restoration of hearing in a deaf ear, and other astounding incidents divide the student into two opposing groups.
