A terrific writer who deserves to be better known in the west. My favorites were 'In a Bamboo Grove' (the actual inspiration for Kurosawa's film, not the title story), 'Hell Screen', and 'Life of A Stupid Man'. The last one, written shortly before his suicide, is one of the most beautiful and harrowing stories I have ever read.
