Summary "お目出たき人" by 武者小路実篤 is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the protagonist's intense longing for love and connection, particularly focusing on his infatuation with a woman named 鶴 (Tsuruko), reflecting on themes of loneliness, desire, and societal expectations. The opening of the novel introduces us to the narrator, who reveals his feelings of deep loneliness and hunger for romantic connection after a failed past love. He observes two women dressed beautifully, reflecting on his absence of relationship with young, beautiful women since a significant loss seven years ago. As he navigates his feelings, he expresses a growing admiration and love for a girl named 鶴, contemplating the societal challenges he faces in pursuing her as well as his wish to form a union that honors both their individualities. The narrative establishes a poignant exploration of desire and the complexities of human relationships as he grapples with his own emotions, societal judgment, and the fear of rejection.
