Keyaki no Ki

This work compiles eight stories chosen from almost two hundred by Ryuchiro Utsumi, a renowned storyteller. Through these selections, Taniguchi constructs a thoughtful exploration of everyday life in Japanese society, which has long been shaped by rigid structures. The collection serves as a foundation for a layered and sophisticated examination of social norms and human experiences. Taniguchi, a significant figure in literature, continues to demonstrate his depth and skill in this latest work.
