“Bones of Fire” Urushiyama, initially drawn to Catholicism by the purity of a young boy. In high school, he hurts a classmate and, through the opportunity of confession, turns his back on God and wanders down a path of ruin. During his university years, he has an affair with a mother and daughter at his boarding house, eventually driving them to their deaths. In the latter half of his life, he is tormented by mental illness, but the presence of the daughter's father, clinging to him like a shadow, brings Urushiyama closer to his final day. This is an unusual piece of Catholic literature that depicts the deep-seated desires of humans and the struggle with the consciousness of sin. Toshio Moriuchi Born in 1936 (Showa 11).
