This is a masterpiece historical novel by Natsuo Arima, which won the 80th Naoki Prize in the latter half of 1978. Set in Osaka during the early Meiji era, it's an exciting detective story featuring "Genzo the Sea Monk," a former jitte bearer, as he tackles difficult cases in the era of civilization and enlightenment. It was also the original work for the drama "Naniwa no Genzo Jiken-cho." There is some staining (see photo 3). We carefully inspect our items, but as we are amateurs, we may miss something.
