Soseki's Unhuman Tour (Kusamakura) follows a nameless young artist as he embarks on a contemplative journey through the mountains. Seeking inspiration, he arrives at a hot spring resort, where he becomes entranced by Nami, the beautiful daughter of the innkeeper. Nami's presence becomes the central focus of the artist's musings, as he silently observes her beauty and contemplates the nature of art, love, and impermanence. The novel unfolds like a haiku-elegant, minimalist, and meditative-exploring the fleeting nature of beauty, both in nature and human form. Written during the Meiji period, a time of rapid modernization in Japan, Kusamakura reflects a longing for a simpler, more peaceful past, evoking nostalgia for old Japan. The courtship between the artist and Nami is subtle and silent, underscoring the ephemeral nature of life and love. Through lyricism and introspection, Soseki creates a deeply philosophical narrative about the transience of beauty and the inner life of the artist.
