Yes!!! My very first Ryūnosuke Akutagawa book came in today. It‘s the short story that was the basis for Akira Kurosawa‘s adaptation of Rashōmon. I‘ve read quite a few of Akutagawa‘s stories before, but now I finally own one. He‘s absolutely brilliant, similarly to Natsume Sōseki, whom I also adore very much.
