[Machine Translation] The bride-to-be was about to marry a prominent Shinano samurai, but was told that she was the child of her mother's infidelity and that the marriage would be annulled. Her father, shocked, collapses on the spot and never returns. In the car, she meets a man with a shaggy head and shabby hakama, who wears an ogama hat. Yokomizo Seishi's only family novel is a masterpiece of romance that depicts the life of a woman who is continually tossed about by fate. This fantastic work, which had not been published for about 80 years after the serialization was completed, has finally been collected in a paperback edition!
