Una història d'amor adolescent. La rivalitat no consisteix solament en el joc adolescent de comparar-se l'alçada física, sinó també en el grau de madures. O potser també en la intensitat d'amor dels dos protagonistes. Novel·la ambientada al barri de Yoshiwara, centre oficial de prostitució.

See also 樋口 一葉. Pen name of poet and writer Natsu Higuchi. She studied at the Haginosha school of poetry run by Utako Nakajima and showed talent from early on. After her father’s death in 1889, she began writing novels to make a living, but she also had a sideline business, a general merchandise store, because she could not survive on income from writing alone. In less than a year from the end of 1894, she successively published such masterpieces as Otsugumori (The Last Day of the Year), Take Kurabe (Comparing Heights), Nigorie (Troubled Waters), and Jusanya (13th Night). She died at the young age of 24 from tuberculosis. Her image currently appears on the Japanese 5000-yen banknote.
