The rain at midnight scatters the leaves, and in the clear morning, one washes their face on the shore. ■ "Acorns" by Torahiko Terada, where the innocent appearance of his late wife presses upon his heart – the day they visited the botanical garden together for the first time in a while, after her illness had slightly improved. ■ "Rain, Drizzling" by Kafu Nagai, depicting the state of Japan, entrusted to the sound of the shamisen of Sonpachi, in an era where old things are disappearing. ◆Contents of the book...Unread and clean.
