Description:

"Kokoro no Kizu wo Iyasu to Iu Koto" chronicles the life of a young, introverted psychiatrist, a talented jazz pianist with a passion for records and books, as he grapples with finding his place in the world. His life takes a peaceful turn when he marries the vivacious Shuko Ono Machiko. However, their serenity is abruptly shattered by the Great Hanshin Earthquake, striking right after the birth of their first child. Witnessing the profound impact on his community, the psychiatrist embarks on a quest to redefine his professional role. He discovers his unique contribution lies in helping disaster victims restore their inherent capacity to heal, rather than just treating their symptoms. His groundbreaking observations are compiled into a book, earning him a prestigious social sciences prize, a positive affirmation of his work. Yet, at 39, a new, daunting challenge emerges when he receives a cancer diagnosis, forcing him to confront mortality and his own journey of healing.
