A fantastic collection of Japanese short stories from across the past few decades across genders and themes. The book is divided into themes such as Japan and the West, Loyal Warriors, Men and Women, Nature and Memory, Modern Life and Other Nonsense, Dread, and Disasters, Natural and Man-Made. There are about 34 stories in total and not a single one is dull or similar to any other. Japanese writers are filled with wit and ingenuity and this book clearly depicts the range of talent to emerge from the country. Loved this book so much.
Moderate: Sexual content, Violence, and War
