"A young man from a fallen old family in Hokuriku, who came to Tokyo with antiques in lieu of tuition, encounters the gunshot that echoes through the snowy Tokyo streets that night, and the blood-soaked February 26th Incident. This is a long novel depicting the poetic sensibility of youth and a group of young people who awaken in the early Showa era, which ushered in a dark age." This is a copy of Yoshie Hotta's "Portraits of Young Poets," published by Shinchosha in September 1968, first edition, with slipcase and obi. The cover is cloth-bound. The slipcase has some yellowing, but the main body has little yellowing, and there are no stains, writing, or library stamps. The main body and slipcase are covered in transparent OPP film.
