Journalist Kenji Goto goes to rescue Haruna Yukawa, the head of a private military company who has been kidnapped by ISIS, but both tragically lose their lives. \u003cbr\u003eIn Japanese society, the two were branded as people who had caused great harm to the nation and were met with countless criticisms.\u003cbr\u003e In the process, even their deaths were pushed to the margins.\u003cbr\u003e The author said, “I tried to find the hidden stories in the events of these two people that were revealed on the surface,” and “Sometimes I thought about Yukawa’s soul.\u003cbr\u003e And then suddenly, I began to fall into the arrogant thought, 'Isn't it possible that I am the only one who can be by Yukawa's soul?'\u003cbr\u003e “Then, ‘An Angel Sleeps on the Collarbone’ was born,” he said.\u003cbr\u003e The question of whether the social contempt cast across the stage at that time still lingers in our society remains for the audience who encounters this play today. \u003cbr\u003eCats, whose survival is threatened by the expansion of human settlements, are dying on the road, and graffiti covered with paint on rooftops reminds us of someone's pain and wounds.\u003cbr\u003e We may never know about someone's loneliness, someone's will, or someone's life, but the play seems to speak of the possibility that it can continue and begin right here, right now.\u003cbr\u003e The clavicle, the most fragile bone in the human body, connects the heart to the neck and protects the organs that sustain life and produce the voice.\u003cbr\u003e The seemingly fragile question of whether this beautiful fact might be a starting point is revived in each person's senses. \u003cbr\u003e“On your collarbone, Kazue is sleeping.” (p. 104) As we engage with each other’s wounds, the moment our individual existence as we live our daily lives expands beyond our individual dramas into a social drama, we will be able to vaguely believe that the world will be filled with beings who embrace angels.\u003cbr\u003e “Doru, when this is over, can I sleep on your collarbone?” “…Yeah.” (Page 142) \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 15, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 169 pages | 128*188*8mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791143009487 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891734675498,"sku":"155610","price":31.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/911e9f9129dddc22e4ee297e47751f5a.jpg?v=1765340251","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/155610","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
