![]() ![]() The letter reveals Sensei’s past and his decision to end his life. However, when his father’s condition worsened, he received a letter from Sensei which made him leave his father despite his condition. After graduation, Soseki had to go home and look after his ailing father who hopes that his son finds a good job with the help of Sensei. ![]() Sensei is a lonely man and visits someone’s grave every month. It tells the story of the narrator, Soseki, a university student drawn to a far older man whom he calls Sensei and Japan’s transition from the Meiji society to the modern era. Kokoro is a Japanese classic about betrayal, self-isolation, guilt, bitterness and loneliness. I don’t quite remember how I first got across this book but as many of you know, I have a soft spot for Japanese literature and I haven’t read any from Natsume Sōseki so of course, I shouldn’t pass on this. ![]()
