Fukei is an autobiographical short-story collection by Jakucho Setouchi, based on her memories and life. Stories such as one in which an old destructive love resurfaces after an award, and another about the emotional unrest before taking Buddhist vows, quietly examine age, memory, and traces of love.

From the vantage point of old age, this autobiographical collection looks back at landscapes of love and memory that do not fade.

Set in the Genroku era, this historical novel follows Tsugaru Uneme, author of an early angling manual, and the samurai and townspeople drawn to fishing. In a time shaped by the laws of compassion for living things, fishing, waiting, and living become quietly intertwined.

Beyond the cast of a fishing rod, the obsessions and freedoms of Edo lives come into view.
