About the book

Critically acclaimed when first published in Japan in 1973, this enlightening adventure climbs inside a mind which has been forever wounded by thear trauma of war. Akaki, a middle-aged businessman, is lost in his past. In an intense stream of consciousness with loops, flashbacks and multiple digressions, he recalls his desire for the grey military coat that he wore on arrival in Tokyo 20 years previously - how his days were fruitlessly spent looking for it and, muddled with this, his childhood dreams of becoming a military hero.
