[Machine Translation] Takako and Eienko. Takako and Eiko, two girls who spent the same time together at a villa in Hayama, last saw each other in the summer. Twenty-five years later, when the villa is demolished, they meet again. Memories that sometimes mesh and sometimes clash. Tangled memories, mixed time, intersecting dreams and reality. Boundaries disappear, and at the end, words begin to unravel. The form of an ambiguous, yet strong world spun in soft sentences. An Akutagawa Prize-winning work filled with the joy of a novel.
