My Condolences

このたびは

A collection of short stories that delicately explore the rituals and traditions of life, from matchmaking and funerals to festivals and coming-of-age ceremonies. The narratives center on ordinary people navigating significant life events, such as a 32-year-old woman entering an arranged marriage with a 34-year-old man, and a part-timer dealing with a narrow-shouldered funeral. Each tale captures the quiet, poignant moments that define human connections.

The characters face personal conflicts and societal expectations as they move through these pivotal ceremonies. A beautiful woman takes charge of her own proposal and wedding preparations, questioning if she is doing the right thing, while others grapple with family dynamics, pregnancy, and homecoming. The stories reveal the subtle emotions and challenges hidden beneath the surface of life's traditional milestones.
