About This Novel
The "Sea of Fertility" tetralogy includes "Spring Snow", "Galloping Horse", "Akatsuki Temple" and "The Five Decline of Heaven and Man". It is a panoramic work of Yukio Mishima's grand scale that spans time and space. From the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War to the end of Japan's period of rapid economic growth. Each part of "Sea of Fertility" centers on a main character, connected sequentially through three moles, and interprets the story around the theme of "reincarnation", with one person, Honda Nobuni, running through it. It can be said that the content is intricate and the scenes are grand and magnificent. It's both easy to let go and tight at the same time. Integrated and full of fun. Therefore, Kawabata Yasunari praised the "Sea of Fertility" tetralogy as "a masterpiece of Japanese novels since "The Tale of Genji"".
