This powerful novel of a nation in social and moral crisis was first published by New Directions in 1956. Set in the early postwar years, The Setting Sun probes the destructive effects of war and the transition from a feudal Japan to an industrial society. The influence of Osamu Dazai's novel has made "people of the setting sun" a permanent part of the Japanese language, and his heroine, Kazuko, a young aristocrat who deliberately abandons her class, a symbol of the anomie which pervades so much of the modern world.

Poor design and final product
Color: Stainless Steel/Black/Stainless Steel/Red Black
The watch looks nice. That is the only good part. It works by being wound by motion when one wears it. Should I do jumping jacks to keep it wound? I dont sleep with it on! Every morning it is not running and the date is wrong until it gets shaken. The band is hard to get it on and hard to get it to come off. It sometimes falls off though. I was trying to replace my older Timex watch and now I am back to wearing the old one that never had these problems.

Love it! Though overpriced at MSRP
Color: Stainless Steel/Blue/Stainless Steel/red-blue, Color: Stainless Steel/Blue/Stainless Steel/red-blue
I love this watch! I had it in my cart for weeks, waiting for an excuse to buy it. The thing holding me back was the $299 MSRP and price on Amazon. I noticed it went down to $200 while I was shopping on Amazon, so I immediately completed the purchase. At Grey Market retailers, this goes for about $160 (which I think is the perfect price). Unfortunately the Snoopy edition proved difficult to find at that price as it was sold out everywhere. Even sold out on the Timex website at $299. I still recommend it, but it's all about what you're willing to pay. For me, $200 was an acceptable price and worth it to me. As a snoopy lover, I'll give this to my kids one day! Not a doubt in my mind it won't last for a very long time as it uses a Citizen movement!
