Japanese Literature (br) Beyond "Umimatsu" published by kodansha Bungei Bunko / "The Tale of the Peninsula". A middle-aged woman who left Tokyo and started living in a town overlooking the Shima Peninsula. What did she look at while living alone? Beyond the Kawabata Award winning "Umimatsu". This is the ultimate "Tale of the Peninsula". She won the Tanizaki Junichiro Award, Chunichi Cultural Award, and Shinran Award! That spring, "I" came to the peninsula. I was going to spend a beautiful "vacation" near the forest and the sea. I was going to start my life again alone. Beyond the Kawabata Award winning masterpiece "Umimatsu". When I lifted my face, I felt the presence of people waiting for morning among the trees. Probably warbling white-eye or Japanese nightingale. I don't know where the nest is, but I hear a different sound from the rubbing of leaves and branches. It may have been the presence of birds crawling in my brain. Before long, bluish streaks come in here and there in the forest. The streaks of light spread among the trees eventually take on a bright gold color. From the depths of the forest, I could hear the voices of birds singing "Licca, Licca, ピイィ". Come to think of it, today is the first day of summer. One month has passed since I came from Tokyo to the peninsula. Commentary : Saeko Kimura Tanizaki Junichiro
