THE NAME OF THE FLOWER (The Rock Spring Collection of Japanese Literature)
by Kuniko Mukoda
translated by Tomone Matsumoto

The thirteen stories in this collection focus on ordinary characters from daily life-the working husband and the loyal wife who sadly and silently endures. Inevitably, they unravel to reveal human obsessions, flaws, and fears. And like the very best Japanese fiction, they are filled with sharp details and subtle, revealing changes of hue and texture.
