Through The Torii is a novel written by Yone Noguchi, first published in 1922. The story follows the journey of a young Japanese man named Taro, who leaves his small village to study in Tokyo. Along the way, he meets and falls in love with a beautiful woman named Hana, who is also studying in the city. However, their love is complicated by their different social backgrounds and the disapproval of Taro's family. As Taro navigates his new life in the city, he also grapples with the changing political and social landscape of Japan in the early 20th century. He becomes involved in a group of radicals who are pushing for greater democracy and social justice in Japan, and his experiences with this group ultimately shape his understanding of his own identity and place in the world. Through The Torii is a poignant and insightful exploration of love, identity, and social change in Japan during a time of great upheaval. Noguchi's writing is lyrical and evocative, capturing the beauty and complexity of Japanese culture and society with sensitivity and nuance. The novel remains a classic of Japanese literature, and a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in the country's history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
