The Japanese Literature Challenge 15: January through March, 2022

Uemura Shōen, Fragrance of Spring.

Welcome to the Japanese Literature Challenge, now in its fifteenth year. What a joy it is to share our affection for Japanese literature together!

The term ”challenge” comes from the early days of blogging, when reading challenges were set forth by so many of my blogging friends. But, this is not really a challenge; it is more of an opportunity to read and share works written by Japanese authors.

Here are a few guidelines:

• Read as many books as you like from January through March. (Even if that is ”only” one.)
• Make sure the work was originally written in Japanese.
• Choose from classic to contemporary works, whatever appeals to you.
• Leave a link here to your review so that we can visit you.

Here is a button in case you would like to use it.

Finally, there will be prizes. I have several books I would like to give as prizes during the three months of the Japanese Literature Challenge 15. So, do stay tuned for those announcements. I will leave this post as a sticky post at the top of my blog. Hopefully, that will help you access it easily to leave the links to your reviews. I am so looking forward to what it is that you read!
