Yutaka Yukawa
Shohei Ooka's novel "Wildfire" depicts a private roaming in the mountain, being abandoned by the platoon and hospital on the battlefield. As he is losing consciousness due to fatigue and hunger, the soldier, who felt that something that seemed to be God was seeing him, talks to himself, "If he is really for me alone." Referring to it, the literary critic writes that you should offer faith without assurance that God will grant it. From a critical essay, "The Age Of Shohei Ooka."
