堕落論 [Darakuron]

The book is a collection of provocative essays by a renowned Japanese author from the early 1900s. Originally published in 1946, the essays explore the concept of "corruption" and its role in Japanese culture and society. The author argues that in order for post-WWII Japan to truly reflect on its essence, it must first embrace and confront its own corruption. A controversial work that still sparks debate today.
