KKI_014 KAJA KUMARI IMEDEMAAL / THE GHOST OF ASAKURA TOGO _ UTAGAWA KUNIYOSHI / ENDEL LEPP

„Kaja Kumari imedemaal” räägib keskkonnaametis töötavast naisest, kes suvehommikul silmi avades näeb, et Kumari Vaim on sõnumi saatnud. Tuntud lendjänese Kumari Vaimu raamat toob meestetuppa tubli tüki kodumaist meestemoodi ja killukesi rahvaluulest. Nimetatakse Lääneranna poliitikute rahvapäraseid nimesid ja rõhutatakse nende laulusõnu. Raamat on mõeldud 21-100aastastele meestele. Käsikiri võitis konkursil Kurgiaiaraamat 2026 teemaraamatu eripreemia.
