Keyaki no Ki

Keyaki no Ki is an anthology of eight stories, chosen from nearly two hundred tales by the renowned storyteller Ryuchiro Utsumi. These narratives serve as the bedrock upon which Taniguchi constructs a profound, intricate, and mature contemplation on daily life within Japanese society—a society that has long been governed by rigid structures. Another masterpiece by Taniguchi, this work showcases an author whose significance cannot be overlooked and should not be missed.
