This novel depicts the intersecting love and loneliness of Buntaro Kato, who, with his strong will and personality, carved his own path in his work and rose to the position of a shipbuilding engineer despite only graduating from elementary school. #JiroNitta #Jiro_Nitta #book #JapaneseLiterature/Novel/Story
