Features: Deeply captivated by the personal charm of Hidesaburo Yotake, the author spent eight years tracing the footsteps of the protagonist, unadornedly depicting his life journey of overcoming the disadvantages of poverty and left-handedness, aspiring to a medical career, and establishing his status in the world of medicine through his research on "Spirochaete." This is the work that Akio Morita invested the most time and effort in, and one of his most satisfied creations. The book won the 14th Yoshikawa Eiji Literature Prize in Japan in 1980.
