Kouhei Miyazaki's "The Story of Karayuki-san," published in 2008, explores the cultural background. - Title: The Story of Karayuki-san - Author: Kouhei Miyazaki - Published: November 10, 2008 - Price: 2,500 yen - Publisher: Shiranui Shobo This is a recycled library book. It is marked as "slightly damaged or dirty" due to the library binding, but it does not hinder reading and is actually in good condition. The content is vivid, and it is worth reading not only as a literary work but also as a piece of modern Japanese history. I think it's quite a masterpiece. The flavor deepens if you read it 2-3 times with some time in between. Thank you for looking.
