吉川英治 について

Eiji Yoshikawa (189), from Yokohama, made his debut in the literary world in 1926 with Naruto Hicho. (2-1962) subsequently published a series of major works, including Sangokushi and Miyamoto Musashi, which cemented his status as a national author. After World War II, from 1950 (Showa 25), he published 'Shin Heike Monogatari' (New Tales of the Heike) in Asahi Weekly for seven years. In the final section, "Yoshino Hina no Maki", in particular, the story of Nasu Daihachi, who entered Shiiba to defeat the Heike, is beautifully depicted in the shadows and shadows of the characters' psychology. The scene where he warmly watches over the departed is impressive and evocative of the pathos of things.
