The book delves into the life of Kimitsu, a Japanese day laborer whose journey spans from a wartime childhood in Kyushu to a career on Tokyo's docks and construction sites. Through conversations with anthropologist Tom Gill, Kimitsu shares his unique perspective on life in the slums and post-war Japanese society. Lacking traditional comforts like family or stable employment, he explores existential philosophy and Buddhist mysticism, seeking enlightenment in second-hand bookshops during his downtime from grueling labor.
