Kokoro
A young man seeking guidance becomes an unlikely confidant to Sensei, an elderly and reclusive man who has spent decades haunted by a single act of betrayal. As Sensei recounts his past in Meiji-era Tokyo — a friendship destroyed by jealousy, a woman's love, and a fatal choice — the novel unfolds as both a confession and a meditation on guilt, morality, and the passage of time.
