Rate this book
憑神,乃附體之神明。
但若求得窮神、瘟神、死神憑附,那可茲事體大!
倒楣武士彥四郎卻發現,擁抱祂們讓自己明白了何謂幸福……

時值幕末,人在江戶。下級武士別所彥四郎,生於世代擔任將軍影武者的家庭。從小文武雙全,但身為次子無法繼承家業,入贅後又遭陷害,只得離緣返家,無所事事。

消沈失志的彥四郎,聽聞同儕因拜神而飛黃騰達,酒後見到小祠堂隨口祈禱,竟輕鬆求得神明憑附——孰料是窮神、瘟神、死神依序降臨,緊追不放!

飛來橫禍,彥四郎的處境更是雪上加霜。眾厄神對他的耿直、守義、重情讚賞有加,想盡辦法幫忙。彥四郎終於領悟:正因生命有限且多磨難,才能找到屬於自己的幸福歸處……

Jirō Asada (浅田 次郎, born December 13, 1951 in Tokyo) is the pen name of Kōjirō Iwato (岩戸 康次郎), a Japanese writer.

Inspired by Yukio Mishima, who tried to stage a coup d'état among Japan Self-Defense Forces then committed suicide after the coup was failed, Asada enlisted in the SDF after finishing his studies. He changed jobs many times while endeavoring to find writing opportunities, submitting his works to literary competitions.

In 1991, his novel Torarete tamaruka! (とられてたまるか!) started his literary career. After writing several picaresque novels, his novel Metro ni notte (地下鉄に乗って) was awarded the Eiji Yoshikawa Prize for New Writers and made into a 2006 film; a short story collection The Stationmaster and other stories (Poppoya (鉄道員)) was also awarded the Naoki Prize.

He writes not only standard fiction and picaresque novels, but also writes historical and Chinese historical novels such as The Firmament of the Pleiades (Sōkyū no subaru, 蒼穹の昴).

裏すじがなんか辛気臭いので重いのはやだなぁとかおもいながら読み始めたものの、主人公の人の好さに救われ続けるお話。
どんな人生も向き合い方次第なんかなぁ。
幕末の激動期を生きる貧乏武家人の次男坊。理不尽にふりかかる火の粉をかいくぐっていきつくさき。
侍の哲学。嫁と子がかわいそうやなと思いつつもこれがまかり通る時代と江戸もんの根性でのこされるものも誉なのか。
ちょいちょいでてくる憑神や名わき役たちとのコントが小気味いい。
「不仁のきわみである。」
助かりたい一心であったはずなのに宿替えができるとわかった先の反応がこれ。
え?とかじゃなくてこれ。人柄がにじみ出る。
ぞっとしたときの表現が「ざわざわと髪の根が締まった」とか
すごく衝撃をうけた時に「百鬼夜行が目の前を通りすぎた」とかいちいち表現がおもしろい。
時代物は正直苦手だったんだけれども、読めるジャンルが分かってきた。
