Extremely Rare Natsume Soseki Works - 8 Volumes Iwanami Bunko Edition Titles of the 8 Works, Year of Publication, Number of Pages 1: Kusamakura (The Grass Pillow) 1906 223p 2: Guri-jin-so (The Poppy) 1907 428p 3: Yume Juuya (Ten Nights of Dreams) 1908 187p 4: Higan Sugi Made (To the Spring Equinox and Beyond) 1912 352p 5: Kojin (The Wayfarer) 1914 431p 6: Kokoro 1914 300p 7: Michikusa (Grass on the Wayside) 1914 320p 8: Meian (Light and Darkness) 1916 607p First editions were printed around 1929-1939, while the books offered here are mainly from around 1992-2021. After the war, criticism surrounding Soseki became active, sparked by Soseki criticism by Jun Eto and others. Besides Eto, prominent literary critics such as Hideo Kobayashi, Ken Hirano, Kojin Karatani, Takaaki Yoshimoto, and Hidehiko Hasumi have discussed Soseki, and he still holds a central position in Japanese literature (this is a personal opinion). I believe the above 8 volumes are key works for understanding Soseki. Regarding the condition of the 8 paperback books, "Kokoro" is in like-new condition, and the other 7 volumes show some yellowing on the top, bottom, and edges due to aging, but they are generally considered to be in good condition. Please refer to the attached photos for details on the condition of the books. They will be protected with PP bags and cushioning material and shipped anonymously. In addition to these books, I also have CDs, books by Haruki Murakami, mainly novels and first editions, as well as tableware and women's wear, so please take a look if you are interested.
