Memai no Suru Sanpo is a late essay collection in which Taijun Takeda writes about walking, memory, and thought while living with bodily dizziness, allowing an unstable body to alter the view of the world.

From a wavering bodily sensation, daily life and thoughts on mortality quietly arise.

Pistol and Fifteen Stories is a collection by Tetsuo Miura that includes the title story “Pistol,” layering family, death, memory, and encouragement to live within quiet narration.

Behind its understated style, the pain of family and life resonates deeply.
