風立ちぬ

[DeepL Translation - needs review] This novel by Tatsuo Hori, a novelist active in the early Showa period, was written in 1923, when Tatsuo Hori contracted tuberculosis at the age of 19. This work was written based on his experience of several months in a sanatorium in Shinshu, accompanying his fiancée, who was more seriously ill, while he himself was ill. It was highly praised for its clear and pure poetic sentiment, which celebrates the eternal life and love that exists beyond death.
