This collection brings together 13 essays on Ueda Akinari, known for his work "Ugetsu Monogatari" (Tales of Moonlight and Rain). Haruo Sato considered "Harusame Monogatari" (Tales of the Spring Rain) superior to "Ugetsu Monogatari," and regarded it as Akinari's masterpiece. He stated, "Among them, the piece 'Fan Kuai' is the masterpiece that poured out the entirety of the writer Akinari." ※ This work was compiled by Kinji Shimada at the request of Haruo Sato's family, three months after his sudden death. This is a copy of Haruo Sato's "Ueda Akinari," published by Togen-sha in August 1964 (first edition) with a slipcase. The main body is wrapped in paraffin paper, which makes the images appear cloudy. Please consider purchasing this item with the understanding that it is a used book.
