Wow, eerie, strange, unsettling and atmospheric. I have always loved reading translated stories especially Japanese tales. This is a beautiful and marvellous collection of stories with what I consider his last story being a sort of goodbye letter. Utterly tragic and beautiful.

In the Grove, The General, and the title story are fantastic.
The Spiders Thread is also a cool modern fable/parable.
While great reads, it's often hard to forget these are 100 year old stories.
