With Dazai, who committed suicide by throwing himself into the Tokyo River, leads him to recreate a Japanese writer’s sensibility.University of Hawaiʻi Press Privacy Policy WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
At the same time and quite at odds with social reality, Daniel has an aesthetic pursuit: he is fascinated by the life and work of Osamu Dazai, an early twentieth-century Japanese writer. He witnesses the exploitation of these workers. During his visit, he learns about Filipino contract workers, the Japayuki, the pleasure girls imported from other Asian countries. It is this other Asian tradition that Daniel, the novel’s protagonist, encounters in his visit to Japan.
Philippine tradition as a mixture of folk belief, Roman Catholicism, and Spanish and American influences seems to have developed apart from major Asian religious and philosophical traditions.
