Spirit Matters
Spirit Matters is a ground-breaking work, the first to explore a broad range of writings on spirituality in contemporary Japanese literature. It draws on a variety of literary works, from enormously popular fiction (Miura Ayako's Hyôten and Shirokari Pass and the novels of Murakami Haruki) to more problematic "serious" fiction (Ôe Kenzaburô's Somersault) to nonfiction meditations on martyrdom and miracles (Sono Ayako's Kiseki) and the dynamics of…

Around the time of the reversion of Okinawa to Japan, the so‐called Yaponesia essays of the Japanese novelist Shimao Toshio (1917–86) became important texts to those concerned with the cultural effects of the reversion on the Okinawan people and the question of Okinawan identity.
