Ryunosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927) is one of Japan's foremost stylists - a modernist master whose short stories are marked by highly original imagery, cynicism, beauty & wild humour. "Rashomon" & "In a Bamboo Grove" inspired Akira Kurosawa's magnificent film & depict a past in which morality is turned upside down, while tales such as "The Nose", "O-Gin" & "Loyalty" paint a rich & imaginative picture of a medieval Japan peopled by Shoguns & priests, vagrants & peasants. And in later works such as "Death Register", "The Life of a Stupid Man" & "Spinning Gears", Akutagawa drew from his own life to devastating effect, revealing his intense melancholy & terror of madness in exquisitely moving impressionistic stories.
