[Machine Translation] I have lived a life of shame. Borrowing from the memoirs of Hazo Ohba, the son of a wealthy Aomori landowner and a morphine addict as much as a cripple, Dazai sublimated his own life into this epic work of literature. Now I have neither happiness nor misfortune. In addition, "Sakura-momo" (Cherry Blossoms), which depicts the anguish of wishing for the happiness of one's family and having it collapse by one's own hand, is also included in this collection.
