With the proliferation of new ideas in Japan, people's beliefs and values have been impacted and shuffled like never before, and countless people have become as confused, at a loss, empty and uneasy as ships lost in the sea.

Osamu Dazai's Sunset was born in this historical background. In the novel, the elder sister and son, the younger brother Naoko and their mother represent the living conditions and spiritual changes of the declining aristocrats after World War II, while the writer represents the lives of ordinary people after the defeat in principle.

Osamu Dazai's classic quotations from Sunset;

1, as long as you live in the world, you will do hypocritical deeds. -Osamu Dazai's Sunset.

2, happiness, that is, those glittering sands that sink into the bottom of the sad river, that is the feeling. -Osamu Dazai's Sunset.

What is terrible is that I really have a hunch that my life will stand on its own and rot, just like banana leaves will not fall and rot in such daily life. This is the last straw. -Osamu Dazai's Sunset.

You should love your neighbor as yourself. This is my original purpose and my final purpose. -Osamu Dazai's Sunset.
