Seijishōsetsu: Setchūbai (政治小説: 雪中梅; "A Political Novel: Plum Blossoms in Snow") is an 1886 Japanese novel written by Tetchō Suehiro.
Kyoko Kurita wrote in "The Romantic Triangle in Meiji Literature" that the novel is "a simple Aesopian story (with a happy ending), in which the characters are mere tools to advocate the author's political convictions". Ozaki Yukio stated in his introduction of the novel that it is not merely a romance story but a modern Japanese novel; Kurita argued that this introduction was "generous".
