28 April 2015book that worths to be read!!!
This book includes multiple narrative stories that allows readers to understand japanese people and their culture through different perspectives..
17 October 2007"There was someone outside, tapping at her window"
Higuchi Ichiyo lived the classic tragic writer's life-- poverty, a struggle for success, death by tuberculosis at 23.
26 March 2002Aren't titles rather hokey?
After celebrating a golden age that was hundreds of years ahead of other civilized nations, women in Japan quickly fell from the cultural vanguard they had enjoyed during the Heian and were silent throughout the succession of bakufu governments that ended with the Meiji restoration in 1868.
22 April 1999One of the great classics of world literature
Deservedly, this 19th century's woman's writings are considered some of the greatest in the world.
