Set in the turbulent Meiji era, a chance encounter on a Kamakura beach irrevocably links a young student to a man he simply calls “Sensei". Intrigued by Sensei's aloofness and wanting to know more about him, the student begins to call upon Sensei and his beautiful wife open up their home and their lives to him. The young student graduates from university and is called home to his dying father, but the Sensei draws him back to Tokyo with a letter of heartfelt confession. …Written in 1914,Kokoro provides a timeless psychological analysis of one man's alienation from society, and starkly but gently shows the depth of both friendship and love.
