Germany diary

Diary of the famous Japanese doctor and writer Mori Ogai (novels and non-fiction including: The Dancer, The Wild Geese, Vita Sexualis) about his journey to Germany, featuring historical photographs from the cities he visited. In his perspective, the private seamlessly transitions into the political, the banal into the significant. Mori's observations possess the form and precision of haikus, making his diary comparable to the literary texts known to us. He observes with openness and great sensitivity.
