● "The Story of the Urn" First Edition By Tsutomu Mizukami, published by Shueisha First edition, first printing, September 10, 1994 Price: 1,200 yen Stored in my home bookshelf, so there is some aging. No writing inside. ----------------------------------- When people die, they are cremated and become bones. They are collected in an urn and placed in a grave. The urn is the final dwelling place for humans. Why don't people, after a life of hardship, enjoy themselves by being placed in an original urn? The author witnessed the Tiananmen Square incident and, immediately after returning to Japan, nearly died from a heart attack. Taking that as a turning point, he began making urns, contemplating death and life. This is a moving essay that considers his feelings and the Japanese way of life and death. ----------------------------------- From the obi (sleeve) of "The Story of the Urn" ● "Urn" by Tsutomu Mizukami This item was stored in its original wooden box. There are cracks. I would like to sell it to someone who understands. ----------------------------------- Even a cracked urn would not be considered a finished product, but rather "leaky" or a "failure." But where in this world are there things that are not failures? In my opinion, elegance is about the appearance of failure. ----------------------------------- From "The Story of the Urn" #TsutomuMizukami #JapaneseLiterature/EssaysAndCommentary #Vase
