This folio of perforated, risograph stamps from Momoe Narazaki is a tribute to the melody known by school children across Japan as that 5 p.m. call to freedom and the fantastical world that awaits them.

The sun is setting
the evening glows
a bell rings at the temple
somewhere in the mountain
Let’s walk home
together hand in hand
let’s walk home
together with the crows
The children have gone home
the round moon rises
the little birds are dreaming
the stars shine
golden light
from a long time ago
