This second volume focuses on a set of Yumeno’s six short stories titled “Kaimu”, a word formed from the characters for “mysterious” and “dream”. These stories, each about a disturbing dream in an unusual setting, utilize imagery to create atmosphere and engage the reader’s senses.
A diver in search of gold coins faces an unwanted encounter at the bottom of the sea; a hotshot pilot decides to take a joyride on a plane shrouded in superstition; a man discovers himself trapped in a tiny cage inside of a massive, seemingly deserted hospital––these and other stories are sure to delight and unsettle fans of Japanese literature and lovers of eerie, unusual stories.
To serve as a learning resource for those studying Japanese, the stories are included in both English-only as well as parallel Japanese/English formats. As a bonus, over sixty translation notes have been included for readers interested in translation, or anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the stories.”
