About This Novel
One day, Seicho Matsumoto's "Sand Container" was screened in the underground theater. The movie showed the scenery of old Japan. I had only been to Atami and Kyoto, but I felt nostalgic. One day, Hana had a dream: I was swimming in the Sumida River, parallel to me, and diagonally above me, my mother was flying. One day, Ah Qiu stopped breathing. In human terms, it is a hundred years old. One day, I lost Hua's wallet. She said not a word, and her steps were serious and hurried. I feel like I have become a very old person. One day, I saw a physical model of Oden, and my emotions surged up like hot water: The world after death must be very lonely. There wasn't such excitement in that world. I want to live in a world full of these things for a while longer! ... The last journey of life between mother, daughter and her beloved cat. Eating three meals a day and traveling with a companion, the peaceful depths of daily life stir up a surge of memories from time to time. Yuriko Takeda is a late-blooming but also a born essayist. With a child-like vivid and intense vision, she describes the sudden and smile-inducing details, the changing scenery of the four seasons, and the people who walk non-stop day by day, wrapped in the premonition of death and the nostalgia for life. Her diary is the branches and leaves of life. It is still breathing when you pick it up.
