A selection of fourteen stories, translated into English, which provides a glimpse of life in feudal Edo (later Tokyo) and insight into the development of the fledgling Japanese crime novel. These stories provide an understanding of modern Japan and its aspirations toward a literature that steps outside the shadow of the West to stand on its own.
