Work Information

A Shincho Dojin Zasshi Prize-winning work that marks Tetsuo Miura's starting point as a writer.

Jugosai no Shui is a short story written by Tetsuo Miura at around the age of twenty-four and awarded the Shincho Dojin Zasshi Prize. CiNii confirms a limited 1979 standalone edition of Jugosai no Shui, but no ISBN is confirmed for it. Shinchosha's ebook page states that the Shincho Bunko volume Kekkon has the print ISBN 9784101135021 and includes this story, so that paperback identifier is used for the book containing the prize-winning work.

Review Summaries

  • Placed alongside works from after the Akutagawa Prize, the story can be read as a bridge between the writer's early sensibility and his later short-fiction world. Though written early, it already suggests Miura's enduring concern with family and fate.
