In 1947, I published the first half in ``Ningen Bessaku'' and the second half in ``Bessatsu''. Published in ``Bungei Shunju''. Published in 1948 as a selection of new literature by Kodansha.

His mother died when he was 3 years old, and his father died when he was 6 years old, and he was raised by his grandmother in his father's hometown of Katakami-cho, Okayama Prefecture (where Hokyo-ji Temple in present-day Bizen City is located). While attending Shizutani Junior High School, his grandmother passed away, and he entered Aoyama Gakuin High School of Commerce, but dropped out due to pulmonary tuberculosis. While continuing to recuperate, he worked as an editor at a magazine company, and studied under Shigeru Tonomura, who was a selector of a letter magazine, and engaged in creative activities, publishing the doujinshi ``Akebono''. He was evacuated to Kibitsu during the Okayama air raid in 1945, and after the war moved to Kurashiki City, where he published the doujinshi ``Bungakusai.'' His ``Purgatory Song'' published in the same magazine was recognized by Kozo Kawamori. Regarding the period immediately after the war, he said, ``When I was a student, I read Rilke, Baudelaire, Valéry, Romain Rolland's ``Jean-Christophe,'' Motojiro Kajii, etc., but among them, the lyrical works seemed petty-bourg, so I overcame that. I went crazy trying to do it," he said.
