Japanese literature
Is it a warrior, a beautiful woman, or a demon? The interaction between Sadanobu Matsudaira and the most cultured person in the Tokai region? The first work to be awarded the Naoki Prize! Sadanobu Matsudaira, who once promoted the Kansei Reform as roju (member of shogun's council of elders), retired from his position in his hometown, Shirakawa Domain when he was over 60 years old. He now calls himself' Fugetsu Okina' or' Raku Okina' when traveling. Sadanobu met Kurijotei Onio at a cigar store in Nissaka Inn on the Tokai-do Road. He was a man of culture who wrote 『 Tokaido Jinjinshi 』, which tells the famous and cultured people of the Tokai-do Road, and 『 Yubu Zenden Ehon Sarashina Soshi 』, which tells the story of the ten brave warriors of Amago. While Sadanobu aimed for a disciplined society, Onio tried to continue to be a free person who would serve as a bridge between Osaka and Edo. The old story that Onio began in the store eventually shed light on half of Sadanobu's life and encouraged him to make a great decision.
