Real-life inspiration for the protagonist's hospital
In *Looking Up at the Half-Moon*, the hospital where protagonist Yuichi Mutou stays for a long time is a slightly aged white building situated on a gentle slope by a river. From the ward window, one can see the winding river and the distant town silhouette. There is a sloping path leading from the hospital entrance down to the hill, lined with trees.
