Сверстники
Писательница Хигути Итиё (1872-1896) умерла молодой, от романтической болезни XIX века - чахотки, ставшей уделом многих японских писателей; ей было всего 24 года. Начав писать в 21 год, она вскоре сумела стяжать славу выдающегося мастера слова. В своих произведениях она великолепно передает трудно постижимую атмосферу "укиё" - "плывущего мира". По буддийским представлениям, жизни присуща непрочность, эфемерность; без быстротечности нет жизни, уплывающий вдаль мир бесконечно печален - потому-то каждое его мгновение драгоценно.
Хигути Итиё скончалась в ноябре 1896 года в возрасте двадцати четырех лет. В день ее кончины к дому умершей шло настоящее паломничество почитателей ее творчества со всей Японии.
Писатели собрали средства по подписке - похоронить ее оказалось не на что...

Pen name of poet and writer Natsu Higuchi. She studied at the Haginosha school of poetry run by Utako Nakajima and showed talent from early on. After her father’s death in 1889, she began writing novels to make a living, but she also had a sideline business, a general merchandise store, because she could not survive on income from writing alone. In less than a year from the end of 1894, she successively published such masterpieces as Otsugumori (The Last Day of the Year), Take Kurabe (Comparing Heights), Nigorie (Troubled Waters), and Jusanya (13th Night). She died at the young age of 24 from tuberculosis.
Her image currently appears on the Japanese 5000-yen banknote.

I had very different feelings while reading Higuchi Ichiyo's book. I felt warm and delighted, then feelings changed to some melancholy and sadness. Than I had some kind of hope towards the heroes of the book, then I somehow lost this hope.
The people described in the book are so different, but they all share unhappiness and some kind of burden in their life. They all have their hopes and fears, their love and yet they all end up by having no chance to make their wishes come true.
This book is good for reading in a long rainy day in summer, with an open window and a sound of rain full of sadness and maybe also a little bit of grief.
