「明治の精神(せいしん)に殉じる(じゅんじる)」と決意し、自伝の遺書を(いしょお)残して自殺(じさつ)した

After K's death, although Sensei married Ojosan, whenever he stood before her innocent trust, he continued to suffer from guilt toward K. Accusing himself of betraying humanity, he lived without work in loneliness for life. Prompted by the Emperor Meiji's demise and General Nogi's suicide, Sensei also resolved to 'die in the spirit of Meiji,' leaving his autobiographical testament for 'I' before committing suicide. A supreme masterpiece depicting the extreme darkness of the heart.
