1.0

Three stories that did not engage me. All set in Japan from the Mejii Restoration up to the 1950's.

It was an okay read. Mostly memoirs.

Memoirs are not something too special to me in this form.

Still had some good moments, but I was expecting more.

3.4/5

Quiet and insightful.  I realize contemplative isn't for everyone, but if it's your thing, these are masterful stories.

Melancholy and bittersweet short stories that really touch on how fleeting life and memories are. I like the way some moments are described in great detail while others are simply passed over; it very much reflects how memories expand or shrink in our minds as life rolls on.
