最も理想に燃える「青春」のきらめきと、それが一瞬で散りゆく哀しさ

The title 'Spring' symbolizes not merely a season, but the sparkle of 'youth' when one is freshest and burning with ideals, and the sorrow of it scattering in an instant like a winter storm. It is a masterpiece where Toson Shimazaki realistically reflected on his own young days, engraving the history of the souls of modern Japanese intellectuals.
