Keigo Higashino "Kirin's Wings"

[North Yujin] April 3, 2011 17:50

 Keigo Higashino, who was a "newcomer" and made the Nihonbashi Ningyocho area completely famous, was given a new "Kirin no Tsubasa" from Kodansha.

 It is a mystery novel that begins with the writing, "The man passed beside the Nihonbashi police box, ..."

I went out to see "Nihonbashi" again.

Today was the 100th anniversary of the current Nihonbashi Bridge on April 3.

However, all events were canceled due to the outbreak of Great East Japan Earthquake.

Long-established people were engaged in fund-raising activities and charity sales.

Take a look at the quiet Nihonbashi area.
