Looks like a nice eclectic stack for your challenge.
ReplyDeleteYou have really piqued my interest with this post, as I have never read any Japanese books, or books by Japanese authors.
ReplyDeleteI now work closely with a great site I recently discovered called Trip Fiction. Their remit is 'Books Set In Location', which is great for any armchair travellers. If you are looking for more books with a Japanese feel to them, it may be worth your while taking a look, as they have pages of them listed...

I'm going to make time to have a closer look myself, alongside the great books you have already featured. It might become a small personal challenge to read at least one Japanese book this year!
Thanks for sharing :)
