[Tokyo]: The Hokuseido Press, 1970. Octavo, pictorial wrappers. First edition. Part of Hokuseido's "Japanese Literature for Rapid Reading" series. Trade paperback format. One of the stories here, "Catching a 'Kappa,' or Water Imp," is supernatural. The translator's views on translation are of some interest. He made first a faithful literal translation. "Then I completely re-translated my initial draft by entirely forgetting about the Japanese originals, and seeking only to make of my work just two stories written in English to be read for enjoyment." A fine copy in nearly fine stiff paper dust jacket. (#117012)
