## Description

Ryünosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927) is one of Japan's foremost stylists - a modernist master whose short stories are marked by highly original imagery, cynicism, beauty and wild humour. 'Rashömon' and 'In a Bamboo Grove' inspired Kurosawa's magnificent film and depict a past in which morality is turned upside down, while tales such as 'The Nose', 'O-Gin' and 'Loyalty' paint a rich and imaginative picture of a medieval Japan peopled by Shoguns and priests, vagrants and peasants. And in later works such as 'Death Register', 'The Life of a Stupid Man' and 'Spinning Gears', Akutagawa drew from his own life to devastating effect, revealing his intense melancholy and terror of madness in exquisitely moving impressionistic stories.

Review: The Jewel Of Japan delivers - Akutagawa-san is a genius through and through. Rashomon and the Trial stories are most excellent, short but dense.
Review: Remember Akira Kurosawa - Familiar with Rashomon? Well Akira Kurosawa's the one that brought Ryunosuke to light to non-japanese world... Story details about an Incident that was narrated by different person from different perspectives leading to different conclusions..... Great book indeed...
