[DeepL Translation - needs review] Short children's stories by Miyazawa Kenji, a writer and poet of children's stories from the Taisho and Showa periods. Unfinished. The story is about "I" who tells the story of Bakichi's recent life to a person who says he used to be with Bakichi in the army. Bakichi became a policeman and then a horse plow after he left the army, but I don't know what he is doing now. He was dismissed from the rank of officer for failing to control cattle with tuberculosis...
Somewhat entertaining but ultimately a bit frustrating, a common experience for me and this author. And yet I keep reading his work :D
Nothing really for archaic kanji or kana, a little bit of old fashioned language but the sort that is common in children's stories.
