- Okay, I didn't include Murakami ... but I have a list of 12 authors and I'm on a mission to see if one of the biggest British book chains has their work in stock. How many do you think I'll find? Who else should I be looking out for?
Also, see my dinner I had at the end, it was sooo tasty!!
I'm really getting into Japanese fiction and will do a few more videos on my growing book collection soon!

Cool idea👍📚
Love that Waterstones!
It’s a great one, though my favourite Waterstones must be the one by UCL in Euston 😱 like a library
If anyone wants to look them up:
Yasunari Kawabata - Snow Country
Yuko Tsushima - Territory of Light
Mizuki Tsujimura - Lonely castle in the mirror
Takashi Hiraide - The guest cat
Yoko Ogawa - The memory police
Natsuko Imamura - The woman in the purple skirt
Toshikazu Kawaguchi - Before the coffee gets cold
Seicho Matsumoto - Tokyo Express
Miri Yu - Tokyo Ueno Station
Yukio Mishima - The sailor who fell from grace with the sea
(Couldn't understand the 11th one at 2:19 )
Sayaka Murata - Convenience store woman
Aww thank you - (2:19 was Natsu Miyashita - The Forest of Wool and Steel !)
I suggest Junichiro Tanizaki books. He’s like the Japanese Honore de Balzac.
