Illustration: In the entrance of a Japanese apartment, a young child launches into their father's open arms as he returns home. He has managed to remove only one shoe and balances awkwardly on his socked foot, smiling as the child wraps both arms around his neck. His work bag rests beside the shoe cupboard.
