The Cape and Other Stories from the Japanese Ghetto by Kenji Nakagami

2.0

I was drawn into ‘The Cape and Other Stories from the Japanese Ghetto’ thinking I would find out more about the Burakumin, an outcast class discriminated against in Japan. The stories were interesting enough, though never more than that, and they shed little light on the history or the present situation. At best, they got me searching the internet for more information about the Burakumin and their lives. That was a much more enlightening endeavor.
