I no longer remember why I picked up this book. However, I do remember being engrossed in it at a喫茶店 (kissaten, a Japanese-style coffee shop) in the corner of the university campus when I was a student. This book is a diary-like record of the author, Kunio Tsuji, during his year-long stay in France to lecture on Japanese literature at the University of Paris. Along with this book, "Natsu no Hikari Michite" (Summer Light Abundant) and "Haru no Kaze Kakete" (Spring Wind Running) were published, all with the subtitle "Paris no Toki" (Parisian Times). Perhaps nowadays, it would be something like a blog or Facebook post. (Omitted) Since then, I've had the opportunity to visit Paris three times, and I've also been fortunate enough to visit and live in other countries. What I think on those occasions is that experiences like touching the everyday lives and ways of living of people who have blended into each place are enjoyable and enrich my life. For that, a good guide is necessary, and this book has been my travel guide and a navigator for a rich life." (Professor Naho Oyama, Tokai University) This is a copy of Kunio Tsuji's "Fuyu no Kiri Tachite" (Winter Mist Rising), published by Chuo Koronsha, first edition, April 1983, with a slipcase and obi. The cover design is by the popular designer, Kaoru Nakajima. Both the slipcase and the book itself are covered with paraffin paper. There is little yellowing due to age, and there are no stains or writing. Please consider purchasing this book, understanding that it is a used item.
