ごん狐 (Gon gitsune)

by Nankichi Niimi

Gon, a young fox, befriends a boy named 兵十 (Hyakujū) during wartime. Their friendship flourishes as they share food and laughter in the secluded countryside. However, tragedy strikes when Hyakujū, unknowingly, shoots Gon, mistaking him for a pest. The story explores the themes of friendship, loss, and guilt, as Hyakujū is haunted by his actions, yearning to reconnect with Gon. The narrative is a poignant exploration of grief, forgiveness, and the enduring power of nature and innocence in the face of war's harsh realities.
