A novelist returns to an old family apartment after her elderly stepmother collapses, facing care, neighbors, and the layered memories of home. With a cool, moonlit gaze, the novel draws out loneliness and attachment from the smallest details of daily life.

In an old apartment under moonlight, family memory and the reality of aging quietly overlap.

This critical work rereads the Kyoto School through Tanabe Hajime and Nishida Kitaro from the perspective of contemporary thought. It presents Japanese philosophy not as a closed tradition but as a dynamic mode of thinking that resonates with structuralism and post-structuralism.

It reopens Japanese philosophy as a crossroads of modern thought.
