Revejo-me na história de Kōji Uno ('Closet LLB'). Nunca a minha essência foi tão poeticamente descrita, embora com uma visão de um futuro que espero não ser o meu. Foi uma história que me fez repensar nalguns pensamentos que tenho para com os outros e, principalmente, comigo.

'Behind the Prison', de Kafū Nagai, e 'General Kim', de Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, foram histórias que me comoveram com a sua autenticidade, como se fossem uma "janela" para a cultura japonesa. De um lado, uma descrição da sociedade e, por outro, a narrativa de um conto popular.
