Table of ContentsReviewsAs the doctor in the town of Tsuchiria, Junichi Saga began to record the memories of his older patients, and this remarkable book is the result. We glimpse the lives of a great range of people in a past now scarcely imaginable. The tofu-maker, a geisha, a gangster, the general store-keeper, the rice-merchant's daughter, the magistrate's wife, even the last executioner remember the early 20th century, savage poverty, neighbourly kindness - a dense history in liveliest detail.
