The 54th Bungei Award winner, highly acclaimed by all Bungei Award selection committee members! Momoko-san, who moved to Tokyo in the year of the Tokyo Olympics, gave birth to and raised two children, lived for her family as a housewife, and sent her husband away to live a "one-person retirement", is a condensed version of postwar Japanese women. Many people must feel that Momoko-san is me, my mother, and the person I will be tomorrow," said Minako Saito, referring to the phrase "Ora Orade Shitori egumo" in Kenji Miyazawa's "The Morning of the Last Supper. She associates this phrase with the freedom and will to live alone, rather than with dying of grief. Mr. Shu Fujisawa: "Mr. Wakatake has grasped the fact that people's feelings are not of one color. "It is wonderful that he has come to a positive view of life, receiving both individual freedom and independence and the heavy and painful things that lie on the other side, in the midst of life's irrevocable consequences. --Yasushi Machida
