This project explores the journeys taken by female characters in Murakami's novels 1Q84, Sputnik Sweetheart, and South of the Border, West of the Sun. Each of the women discussed here have in common their disappearance. Aomame hides away from the world (and the Little People) in a safehouse, Sumire disappears into a parallel world, and Shimamoto disappears from Hajime's life. Documented here are the things they saw and the thoughts they had during their final travels as told through the narrative. The Google Tour Builders place their journeys in physical locations while the blog posts provide passages from the novels which express how the characters felt about their individual situations.
