Kage no Matsuri

A young man experiences a brief encounter with a female oni who observes him performing a small act of kindness. Impressed, she extends an invitation to a hidden festival for yokai located deep within the woods. The tale, which won first place in the inaugural Kodansha International competition—now known as M.I.C.C.—presents this supernatural interaction in a concise narrative.
