Candidate for the one hundred sixty seventh Naoki Prize
You are neither miserable nor miserable. Misae, who was born in Nemuro, Hokkaido and grew up in Niigata, did not know his parents' faces. In 1935, when he was ten years old and returned to Nemuro in the form of being taken over by the Yoshioka family of the former Tonden Soldier, he was forced to work as a clerk at a drug wholesaler in Sapporo. After the war, Misae became a public health nurse and lived in Nemuro again as he was expected to sell drugs to the Yoshioka family. A married life that could not be said to be happy, and the death of the first daughter who was too young. Misae, who lived quietly despite many hardships, was happy. His adopted son, Yusuke, was about to follow the path of Misae's life. "Why did she die? My mother? I heard about cancer the other day, but what kind of cancer was it?" is a biography of a Kita no Onna, given by Toshihide, who had won numerous literary awards. "Why did she die? My mother? I heard about cancer the other day, but what kind of cancer did she have?" I said in plain words what I had never questioned before. Even though I heard about it, my desire to know surfaced like bubbles. "It was breast cancer. It was too late to find out and I couldn't get it out in time even if I had to remove it. Misae worked as a public health nurse until the very last moment and spent his life as usual until the very last moment. Soon after he entered the hospital, he looked like that person."
