Publisher's Synopsis
Be a self-reliant person. Make your own tree. Kenzaburo Oe, winner of the 1994 Nobel Prize in Literature, first wrote a profound and inspiring life book for teenagers, "Shukan Asahi", which has been serialized and received rave reviews. The single edition has sold more than 360,000 copies. The new commemorative edition has another question for you. What kind of person do you want to be? Facing the collapse of basic education caused by Japan's loose policy, Oe Kenzaburo re-examined schools and various life issues that children are confused about and talked about his feelings to the teenagers.
