This volume is part of the prestigious Iwanami Bunko series, one of Japan's most respected and enduring literary paperback collections. Established in 1927 by Iwanami Shoten Publishers, the Iwanami Bunko series has been instrumental in making world literature, classical Japanese texts, and important scholarly works accessible to the Japanese reading public for nearly a century. This volume belongs to the Green Band (Modern Japanese Literature) of the Iwanami Bunko classification system.This is the Upper (first) volume of the essay collection by Nagai Kafu (1879-1959), one of the most beloved and distinctive voices in modern Japanese literature. Kafu was a consummate chronicler of Tokyo's changing urban landscape, its pleasure quarters, its backstreets, and its vanishing Edo-period charm. This volume includes his famous essay Hiyori Geta (Fair-Weather Clogs), a masterpiece of literary urban walking in which Kafu wanders through Tokyo observing its architecture, waterways, and hidden corners with the eye of a nostalgic aesthete. His essays combine elegant prose with sharp social observation, deep cultural knowledge, and an unapologetic devotion to the sensual pleasures of literature, music, food, and the city.Printed on high-quality, acid-free paper with a sewn binding that allows the book to lie flat when open, each Iwanami Bunko edition is designed for both comfortable reading and long-term preservation. The compact bunko format (A6 size, approximately 4.1 x 5.8 inches) makes it highly portable, fitting easily into a bag or coat pocket for reading on the go.Country of Origin: JapanPublisherIwanami Shoten (岩波書店) SeriesIwanami Bunko (Green Band (Modern Japanese Literature)) Author / EditorNagai Kafu LanguageJapanese FormatBunko Paperback (A6, approx. 4.1 x 5.8 in / 105 x 148 mm) ISBN-10400310417X ISBN-139784003104170 Catalog Number41-7 Country of OriginJapan Shipping FedEx, Japan Post, USPS ,etc(Not available for selection) Terms of Sale *A tracking number is provided for all orders.*In principle, the package will be delivered within 4 weeks after the tracking number is uploaded, but delays may occur depending on international conditions.
