A hot topic in Korea! A nostalgic and slightly mysterious world created by a hot writer. Dottie goes to a traditional public bathhouse. Who did they meet at the bathhouse? The lively Kansai dialect of Yoshifumi Hasegawa's translation is also noteworthy!

Public bath, featuring Kansai ben
This is a book about a girl who goes with her mom to the public bath (銭湯 せんとう). It features Kansai ben and I had trouble following what was happening at times. The illustrations are very unique and there is nudity, but it's not graphic.
The text features some kanji with furigana, which is unusual for a picture book.
You can read it for free, and hear it read in a Kansai accent, by watching a read aloud on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZNxR_9bJQJ8?feature=shared
