Description Thank you for visiting the page! Ships with careful packing from Japan. 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 collection presents selected short stories by Yasuoka Shotaro (1920-2013), a leading figure of the postwar 'Third Generation' (Daisan no Shinjin) of Japanese writers. Yasuoka's fiction is distinguished by its wry humor, understated psychological acuity, and sympathetic portrayal of ordinary people struggling to navigate the social disruptions of postwar Japan. His protagonists are often hesitant, self-deprecating men caught between the expectations of tradition and the uncertainties of a rapidly changing society, rendered with a gentle irony that reveals both their human frailty and their quiet resilience.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 / EditorYasuoka Shotaro LanguageJapanese FormatBunko Paperback (A6, approx. 4.1 x 5.8 in / 105 x 148 mm) ISBN-10400312281X ISBN-139784003122815 Catalog Number228-1 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.
