 Yukio Mishima's novel "Kyoko no Ie" was published in 1958 (1958) in the first issue of the magazine "Voice" until Chapters 1 and 2, followed by Shinchosha in 1959 (1959) the following year. Two books, "Part 1" and "Part 2" were published at the same time.

 

 At the beginning of this, there is a description of Kachidokibashi and its surroundings as shown below. 、

 

>From a distance, you can see that cars are crowded around Kachidokibashi. I wonder if it was an accident, the collection said. However, I realized that it was time for the opening and closing bridge to rise. Shunkichi beat his tongue. He said, "Let's give up or get rid of the landfill.

 When the steel plate is finally going to be perpendicular, the dents of the countless steel studs on both sides run down with thin smoke. The small shadows of countless steel studs on both sides gradually come into contact with the steel studs, and the shadows of the balustrade on both sides gradually distorted and moved. As soon as the steel plate became completely perpendicular, the shadow was also quiet. Natsuo raised his eyes and saw a gull over the pillars of the iron arch that fell down.

 The car crossed Kachidokibashi, passed the town of Tsukishima, and further crossed Reimeibashi. The flat wilderness was blue as far as the eye could see, and a wide grid-grained paved road. The sea breeze bumped my cheeks. Shunkichi stopped his car at the runway, which is located at the end of the U.S. military facility. A few poplars were shining in the sun on the other side of the U.S. (1110
