About Noritoshi Furuichi’s Books
To be honest, Noritoshi Furuichi’s books are extremely popular. His unique perspective and innovative thinking resonate with many people. In particular, his incisive style of tackling various societal issues provokes thought among readers. I often discuss his books with my friends from university. For instance, one day a
friend mentioned that he was deeply moved after reading Furuichi’s “The Trap of Freedom.” He reflected, “Freedom is really difficult,” which left a strong impression on me.
Memorable Moments
One day, during my part-time job at a judicial scrivener’s office, I found myself reading Furuichi’s “Children of the Heisei Era.” My colleagues, who are also book lovers, engaged in lively discussions. From Furuichi’s perspective, our generation, born in the Heisei era, experiences a subtle sense of discomfort and conflict. At one moment, I found myself resonating with the sentiment, saying, “Oh, that’s definitely true,” and a colleague jokingly remarked, “You’re a believer in Furuichi, aren’t you?” It was a fun exchange, and it was a great experience to spark such conversations through reading.
Unexpected Discoveries and Shared Emotions
Moreover, Furuichi’s books not only deepen my knowledge but also help me sort out my emotions and thoughts. His words can be sharp at times, yet gentle, resonating deeply within. For example, in one chapter, he wrote, “It’s important for people to have their own opinions.” Reading that made me reaffirm the significance of having confidence in my own views. Although it was a bit embarrassing, I found myself tearing up while reading on one occasion.
