Sawagiya-tachi

Handkerchief-making radio-controlled cars, Gangre's Totchin, Akatan's Bota Mountain, and Fireworks Shop Mibo. Keirin, horse racing, pachinko, mahjong... dice gambling, hanafuda gambling, all four of us, but we have made no attempt to make any money now... There is no God or Buddha... The world depends on the wind, east today, west tomorrow. Where are you going with your hunger... a lonely group of four. Contains nine excellent short stories, including the title story, which depicts the grief of a gambler.
