Yuzo Yamamoto's new edition of "Robo no Ishi" (Stones by the Roadside) is a story about Ai-kawa Goichi, a boy born into an extremely poor family, who is sent to work from a young age due to poverty. It depicts his struggle to maintain his dignity and forge his own path in life despite the harsh environment. However, although the story was revised from its newspaper serialization, it was left unfinished due to the author's circumstances and changes in social conditions, making it a distinctive work.
