This is peoples respect. They go to his old home and his grave to memorize him.This is the monument of his work the sun setting. This is a film named Memories of Matsuko. There is a role in the film who declaimed he is the reincarnation of Dazai. Actually his life in the movie is just like Dazai Osamu who suicides in the end. But I also consider the movie is a salute致敬 of Dazai Osamu.The reason why I Like him1. Exquisite language I think its a foundation of good literature works. It makes you read a book smoothly. The most important thing is the languange in Dazai Osamus work will easily touch the readers weaked part in heart.2. Philosophical thought It has many philosophical sentences. Many opinions in his book deserve our aftertaste again and again.3. Reflection of background We can also get to know the social background and people ideologyof postwar times in
