Personal notes for an indefinite

On the coast adjacent to the ocean, specifically at the spot where the crashing waves touch, more than twenty giant wild cherry trees stood proudly, their trunks covered with dark black bark. By the new school year, the wild cherry blossoms bloom with their attractive glow among the tender green leaves with a brown hue, forming a beautiful scene against the blue of the ocean. Soon, a storm of snowy flowers blows, scattering the petals abundantly toward the sea, shimmering on its surface, carried again by the waves to the spot where the crashing waves touch. Ooba Yuzo, who considered himself an outcast since childhood, did not understand others' feelings and did not see himself as in harmony with them. He tries to adapt to his environment, inventing a personality unlike himself. A novel in the form of personal diaries by the author himself, in which he talks about his various feelings. A human, deep, painful, and realistic novel. Author: Osamu Dazai Number of pages: 171
