About This Novel
Women are like flowers, possessing the most touching beauty, but they cannot control their short and fragile life. All good things will wither like flowers, but the fragrance that can never be erased is the perfect interpretation of the existence and dignity of small creatures. Ukiyo-e paintings of low-class Japanese women in the old era, all nine chapters of the "Flower Burial" series are included. In "A String of White Vine Flowers", a woman who lives in the world can send a letter home to her family, which becomes their only spiritual sustenance. In order to support their parents and sick husbands who are far away, they have no choice but to sell their bodies and souls. "A Platycodon Flower" A young girl fell into infinite darkness until she met a boy. But, can such a girl have the right to love? "The Iris Boat" The most famous singer of the Taisho era, after leaving two stunning masterpieces, died calmly with his lover - leaving only withered Iris flowers around him. What kind of entanglement is hidden behind the sad songs? "Chrysanthemum Dust" Bushido, Chrysanthemum and Sword! This is supposed to be a fate only for men, why should a woman like a white chrysanthemum bear it?

The author is a must-read figure in Neon Kingdom's reasoning. His writing is poetic, and the relatively plain plot reveals a touch of sadness. He sympathizes with women and can understand people's subtle emotions. As far as reasoning is concerned, he is more unexpected.

I have read it twice before, once in junior high school and once in high school. I don't remember much of the plot after it is over. I only remember the chapter "Tong Coffin", which was really shocking. If you re-read it, both "The Boat of Iris" and "The Love and Death of Yuhagi" are very touching, and the two reversals are wonderful. Especially the latter, "the furthest absence is death."
