Michiko Kon said about her image of death: “As I lie in bed and read, gradually my eyelids begin to close. My head still follows the story, but my arms yield to the weight of the book and fall on the sheet, yet my brain keeps following the story. At last, my fingers can no longer hold the book and let it go. The book falls to the floor. As I hear the sound of the falling book, I fall asleep while conscious that I have lost control of my body. I feel comfortable.”She floats to the edge of sleep easily, and then falls into the world of death.
