Jun Ishikawa いしかわ じゅん award

Jun Ishikawa's Fugen is a novella published in 1936 and winner of the fourth Akutagawa Prize. The appearance of Yukari, the sister of an old friend who is pursued by the Special Higher Police, unsettles the reality of the narrator, who has been living his days in apathy.

Yukari's arrival, as she is being pursued, shakes the narrator's stagnant daily life.
