He often reflects on his own mortality, and this leads him to become increasingly obsessed with his appearance and his legacy. As the novel progresses, Kosaku&#8217;s mental state begins to deteriorate. He begins to become delusional and paranoid, and has increasingly strange and erratic behaviors. <\/p>\n<p>The novel is structured around a series of vignettes, which illustrate the various aspects of Kosaku&#8217;s life and the people he encounters.
