My Dazai Osamu by Yoshitaka Kikuta (Daikosha, published 1967). This is a rare book, now difficult to obtain, that proposes a new perspective on the core of Dazai's literature. It is a book that conveys the author's deep respect for Dazai. [About the condition of the book] Due to the age of approximately 60 years, the following damage is present: • Exterior: The cover and obi have yellowing, scratches, and damage to the edges due to aging. • Text: There are markings with a highlighter on 4 pages (see the photo). • Structure: There is peeling (splitting) on the inside of the spine (see photo 9). Although there is no problem with reading, the binding is weak. We hope that those who can appreciate it as a research material and understand the texture of the old book will purchase it.
