Sumiko Shimizu was a Japanese student born on May 1, 1909. At the age of 15, during her third year at Nagano Prefectural Ueda Girls' High School, she tragically died by railway suicide. After her death, a collection of her writings, 'Sasayaki,' was published and became a bestseller, though it was criticized for romanticizing death and subsequently banned in schools. Despite this, many students secretly read it, leading to several copycat suicides, including that of singer Yoshiko Takanawa.
