"The Deceased" by Hiroshi Sakagami, First Edition November 20, 1979, Heibonsha, with slipcase. The young man grapples with the meaning of life and death, harboring a deep sense of loss after the senseless accidental death of his senior writer, whom he admired like an older brother. A book of requiem by the author, who lived closest to the life of Fusao Yamakawa, who died young at the age of 34. It has been stored in a bookshelf with doors for many years, so there is a slight tear on the obi (book band), but I believe it is clean with no particularly noticeable stains. Shipping will be in simple packaging using recycled materials. It may be changed to RakuRaku Mercari便 (Mercari's shipping service). #Mita Bungaku #Fusao Yamakawa #Japanese Literature/Novels/Stories #Hiroshi Sakagami #Sakagami_Hiroshi
