These are the fifth and sixth episodes of Five-Petal Camellia.
It's a suspenseful mystery period drama, but Yamamoto Shugoro's work doesn't end there.
It ends as a human drama filled with timeless charm.
It's no wonder that this story has been passed down through the ages in film, TV, and stage adaptations.
A vengeful woman named Orio kills a man, and camellia petals once again fall at the scene.
These are the camellia petals that Oshino's father told her about a sad experience when she was a child, and they play a symbolic role in the story.
[The inspiration for creating a bold, large-print book]
My mother was hard of hearing and didn't watch TV, but she loved reading, had a sharp mind, and thankfully, she was far from dementia.
But one day, she was no longer able to read the thin Ming font, and she began spending all day in a daze, not even reading.
I was worried about developing dementia, so I tried magnifying glasses and glasses, but they didn't work, and I couldn't even read small, large-print books.
I tested it by publishing a book with large, bold print on my Kindle and showing it to him.
He was thrilled,
"I can read this without glasses now!"
He read it all in one day, and even said, "Please come again next time!" (laughs)
I eagerly await the delivery of my large, bold-print books from Amazon to my front door.
I keep them lined up on a small bookshelf by my bed, and reread them whenever I forget about them.
I myself developed cataracts, which made the text blurry, and I gradually drifted away from reading,
but the bold print makes it easier to read, and I've once again remembered the joy of turning the next page.
I hope I can bring the joy of reading back to those whose eyes are starting to blur.
Even for those who don't read much and are tired of the small print on their smartphones,
I highly recommend this! I hope you enjoy the thrill of reading a novel in one go.
