Summary
The first of the author's fictional works to appear in English, this collection features nine short stories with Ancient China as their subject, drawing inspiration from folk tales, legends, and historical figures. They first appeared in Japanese periodicals in 1942 and 1943 and promised a potentially rich and long career before the author tragically died of pneumonia complicated by severe asthma. The stories have been held in extremely high regard in Japan ever since and are routinely placed alongside of classics such as "Rashomon," by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, andKokoro,by Natsume Soseki.
