"This Makes Classical Literature Easy to Understand" Osamu Hashimoto Price: ¥680 The author, realizing that too many people are distant from Japanese classical literature, began modern translations of classics such as "The Pillow Book" and "The Tale of Genji." He wants people to know that "classical literature is so interesting" and "classical literature never betrays." This is the best introductory book, using specific examples and a unique narrative style to teach how to "understand" classical literature in an engaging way. #OsamuHashimoto #Osamu_Hashimoto #Book #JapaneseLiterature/EssaysAndCriticism
