I ask that you purchase both books together. - Title: The Wall - Author: Kobo Abe Shinchosha Bunko - Title: Rashomon, The Thief, Hell Screen, and The Tale of the Afterlife - Author: Ryunosuke Akutagawa Kodansha Bunko These are old paperbacks. "The Wall" has yellowing and stains due to age. "Rashomon..." has quite a few furigana (ruby characters) (Image 19). Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned or dislike used books. I have inspected the books, but please forgive any oversights. Purchased at a bookstore and stored at home for a long time.
