About This Novel
Natsume Soseki, a writer who was active in Japan during the Meiji and Taisho periods, is known as Japan's "national writer". Today, a hundred years later, his works still firmly occupy a prominent position in Japanese street bookstores. "The Door" is the third part of the love trilogy. Sosuke and Ami live in a world within the gate. They became husband and wife due to an accidental encounter. They fed each other with sweet love inside the gate. But when they went out, they were spurned by society and experienced the pain of deviating from morality. Compared with the simple Ami, Zongsuke is tortured by guilt all the time. In order to stay away from it all, he escapes to a temple in the mountains, hoping that Zen learning can open the locked door in his heart. However, his practice encountered more doors, and he could not muster the courage to open them anyway. He could only stand outside the door forever, staring at his lonely self.
