The/bk/begins/with/a/rap.

The/authorhimself/wrote/the/lyrics/actually,/but/itis/more/than/a/ng.

It/is/the/premiere.

Then/there/went/the/very/first/lines/of/theintroduction.

“It/was/twelve/past/forty/five/on/the/second/day/of/November,/2008./Tokyo.

People/flocked/to/a/bistro/in/Ginza,

whichis/no/le/scandalous/than/the/East/End/ofNew/York/City/despite/the/yellow/bucks.

It/was/just/midday/but/who/made/the/party/animals/come/out/for/their/feast?

Well,/I/suppe/that/you/have/heard/of/Benioto/Hotaru.”

A/gd/beginning/is/half/done./And//it/iswith/an/acceptable/novel.

When/I/got/to/the/subtitle/of/the/first/chapter/I/eagerly/wanted/to/move/on.

What/was/a/Nawa/Shyokunin?

How/could/Jin/Feng,

the/hero/and/al/the/NawaShyokunin/in/the/bk,

manage/to/lead/his/lifewith/a/string?

This/bk/has/awakened/my/memories:

visual/shocks/to/a/little/child/by/the/Virgin/Feast

and/pictures/from/Nemuli/NoMorino/Bijou/by/Kawabata/Yasinari.

The/author/is/more/like/a/magician,

without/whom/I/could/have/thrown/away/my/past.

“I/am/not/merely/telling/a/story.

I/am/showing/my/pains/and/gains

and/you/can—youmight/be/able/to/learn/mething/through/my/bk/in/your/own/ways.”

The/author/ushers/us/readers/into/a/brand/bizarre/world

but/under/the/surface/humanity/stands/still.

I/am/wondering/what/the/author/intends/to/covey/to/us:

the/fading/traditional/cultural/relics,/the/lt/generation/in/the/modern/ciety,

or/the/inevitable/trends/that/no/individual/can/fight/with?

Time/and/tide.

What/makes/this/pl?

I/do/not/know.

What/is/going/on?

I/do/not/know.

But/the/Nawa/strings/every/fragment/together—sparkling/ones/and/fainting/ones.

And/that/is/life.

Life/is/the/biggest/dealer.

It/de/not/promise/anybody/anything.

We/are/gamblers/without/any/stakes.

That/is/the/principle.
