The search for Japanese author Osamu Dazai and his Mistress Tomie Yamazaki's mortal remains in the days following their disappearance. (June 1948)
Location- Tamagawa Aqueduct
The search was extremely challenging due to the rapid rise in water level after heavy rain fall, mud, and swift current.
It would take 6 days to finally find them, coincidentally on the authors 39th birthday, 19 June 1948. After being found, Dazai was almost immediately cremated.
