Features: Readers who want to improve their Japanese skills should first train their listening skills, using listening to achieve skimming effects, and then read the text repeatedly for intensive reading. Since all Chinese characters are accompanied by hiragana pronunciation, you can look up unfamiliar words immediately during intensive reading. Engage your hands, mouth, ears, and eyes. When you use all your senses to follow along—watching, listening, repeating, and thinking—the literature will unconsciously enhance your Japanese proficiency. Once you are familiar with everything, we hope you can narrate the story to others in fluent Japanese, training yourself and others.
This book is divided into three units. The first unit consists of medieval folk tales and modern creative fairy tales. (Nakayama Masao) was a very famous folklorist before World War II, and these folk tales were collected in Shukoku Monogatari. Mori Ogai, a literary giant of the Meiji and Taisho eras, adapted "Yamakoji Daijin" from Shukoku Monogatari into his famous work Yamakoji Daijin. The fairy tales in the first unit were created during this period, and creative fairy tales since the Taisho era have also held a significant place in Japanese literature.
The second unit includes works by three renowned writers from the Meiji period to the eve of World War II. Natsume Sōseki was a representative writer from the Meiji to early Taisho eras. Yamakari is one of the essays in Eikoku Shōsaishi, short yet beautiful.
The third unit is a poetry collection. Ishikawa Takuboku was a poet of the late Meiji era, and Ichi Nukute no Suna (A Handful of Sand) is his famous work, widely known in Japan. Yosano Akiko was an enthusiastic female poet and feminist, skilled in waka poetry, and her works are also highly acclaimed. Kojima Shunsuke was a socialist poet.
This collection includes folk tales from all over Japan; children's literature by renowned Japanese writers; short works by famous Japanese novelists such as (Kawabata Yasunari), (Dazai Osamu), and (Natsume Sōseki); and poems by the three short-lived genius poets (Ishikawa Takuboku), (Yosano Akiko), and (Kojima Shunsuke).
We hope that these rich, short, and classic works in the book will allow readers to once again achieve "multiple benefits," satisfying both lovers of Japanese literature and Japanese language learners with a dreamlike visual and auditory experience, continuously improving their Japanese proficiency.
