In 1944, Dazai Osamu, who had four attempted suicide experiences, returned to his long lost hometown. Without feeling of sadness, he enjoyed the scenery, visited his old friends, and started his self healing cruise. Actually, he was entrusted by someone to write articles for his hometown Tsugaru, but he not only shared the experience of climbing, eating crabs, drinking and talking with friends in a humorous and self deprecating tone, but also displayed the only bright land in his life to readers with gentle strokes. It gave this book effects that can rival novels.
