KOTORI DAILY

Kokoro

Natsume Soseki

Through the relationship between Sensei and the narrator, loneliness emerges at the end of the Meiji era.

Irreversible memories hide beneath their quiet conversations.

A distinctly Kotori choice when you want to settle into a longer work.

Why read it now

Reading only a few pages each day suits the novel's quiet pace and gradual disclosures.

Before reading

A defining modern novel in which the transition from Meiji to Taisho meets questions of private loyalty and responsibility.
