風下の朱

In Gunma, swept by the dry wind of winter, a group of young women rally around Yukimi, who wants a baseball team for the good of the soul, and as they chase the ball together they find both solidarity and conflict. The book pairs it with 'Mugen no Gen', in which Gen Miyajima, family head and frontman of a bluegrass group called Hyakugen, dies alone at home yet keeps reviving each day to die again, to his sons' torment.
