I have no experience writing, and I do not even know English (so I’ll have to use the Google translator), but in this case I feel compelled to review this title, who do not have English translation is quite unknown in the page (at least compared to other works of Taniguchi as "Haruka na Machi e"). With that clarified, let's start.
The story it’s about Yoichi, an ordinary man who lives in Tokyo with his wife, who one day receives the news that his father, who did not visit since ten years, has died. For him his father was always a virtual unknown, with which he

was never intimate much because he felt resentment towards him due to divorce with his mother. In his funeral, through memories of his childhood and family and friends stories, is becoming an increasingly complex picture of his father and his relationship with his mother, things about which he knew next to nothing
Like works as Yasujiro Ozu’s Toko Story, even coming from a particular time and in a country like Japan, details completely unrelated to the reader, provokes an unexpected connection with the experiences of the characters. It is a must for fans of the author and manga in general.
