The book is in my hands
Where is the story?
It's on a different level from books

Iwanami BunkoThe Rubaiyat(Omar Khayyam/reason "The Wheel of Impermanence" is included in the fifth chapter of the novel "The Wheel of Impermanence" by Ryo Ogawa.(No.57~73)The pages of the book were cut up and glued together without losing a single letter. Perhaps due to the layering of glue, the edges are curved like a sake cup.

The material used was the book "Rubaiyat". It is one of the most widely read Persian literary works in Japan, and its contents are composed of numerous poems that do not look down on the everyday and embrace illusions, but rather look at the fleeting life of this world. It is also interesting that he was a heavy drinker, which is rare in the Islamic world. Below is an excerpt from one of his poems:

-

The clouds hang low and tears fall on the blades of grass.
How can you live without flower wine?
The young grass that comforts my eyes today
Who will see it grow again tomorrow?

--No.61, Chapter 5 "Rubayat"

The story was deconstructed and each piece of text was pasted together in a way that created as little meaning as possible, resulting in the letters interwoven into this work.
