Originally published in Japanese: Tokyo : ShinchÅsha, 1937. In this classic Japanese coming-of-age novel often compared to The Alchemist and The Little Prince, a young man sets out to find his place in a world both infinitely large and unimaginably small. Told in two voices, fifteen-year-old Copper struggles to confront inevitable and enormous change after his father's death and his uncle writes to him in a journal, sharing knowledge and advice in 1937 Japan.
