Yume no Ishibumi

A long-running anthology spread across twenty volumes, gathering both short tales and extended cycles. Standalone pieces such as 'Sakura no Mori no Sakura no Yami', 'Aozukin', 'Fuuin Gaka', 'Bernstein', 'Kira no Rondo', 'Yomibito Shirazu', 'Yuki Kurenai no Miko', 'Suikin Kutsu' and 'Ageuta' sit alongside more developed serials including the multi-volume 'Torikaebaya Ibun', 'Fuurenki', 'Nue' and 'Fuchi Tonarinu'. Folklore, court intrigue, gender play and the supernatural recur throughout, with later volumes adding works like 'Hiru no Tsuki Yoru no Kodama', 'Kage ni Aisareta Otoko', 'Kimi wo Matsu Kyuujuuku Yoru', 'Gekkou Shiro' and 'Genshou Yuugi Light Version'. The collection offers a wide survey of the author's recurring concerns across many years of work.
