Publisher's green cloth stamped in green and gilt on upper cover and spine, green top stain. DJ was mylared very early in it's life, attributing to a very clean and sharp DJ as well as a bit of tape residue to boards and tape shadowing to free endpapers. Very light rubbing to extremities, sharp and clean otherwise. DJ faintly sunned. Sōseki (1867-1916) is among the most well-known contemporary Japanese novelists. Grass on the Wayside, originally published in Japanese in 1915, is an autobiographical novel written in the last year of Sōseki's life. It is his only autobiographical work of fiction, and his last completed work. Together with Kokoro (1914), Grass on the Wayside is often cited as Natsume's major literary effort.
