Pamphlet. Condition: New. "Since you asked: I am the great god Hitokotonushi of Kazuraki, known as Kotosaka no Kami, the WordRender, he who can render anything, be it felicitous or ill-omened, with but a single word. Nice to meet you."The God of the Word is a witty and wry retelling of the Kojiki ('Record of Ancient Matters'), c…ompleted in 712 CE, which is considered the oldest extant Japanese text. It is a myth-history documenting (read: legitimising) the divine lineage of the emperors of the Yamato court, including the Wakatakeru no Mikoto of our text (supposedly the real historical figure the rest of the 14 confabulations were arranged to legitimise). This lively and hilarious translation is guaranteed to make you smile, while also gesturing towards the serious and relevant consideration of who gets to tell the tall tales on which we build our own narratives.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Akutagawa prize-winning novel by Kou Machida, Japan's most outlandish and inventive author.The Akutagawa prize-winning novel by Kou Machida, Japan's most outlandish and inventive author.Rip It Up is the first ever English translation of Kou Machida's award-winning novel, an undertaking o…ver five years in the making and the inaugural title of Inpatient Press's translation imprint Mercurial Editions.Set in a kaleidoscopic hyperreal Japan circa Y2K, Rip It Up catalogues the misdeeds and misgivings of a down-and-out wannabe debonair who ekes out a meager living at the fringes of the art world, wracked by jealousy at his friend's success and despondent over his own creative (and moral) bankruptcy. In turn hilarious and also horrifying, Machida's pyrotechnic prose plumbs the discursive depths of the creative spirit, a head-spinning survey of degeneration and self-sabotage. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Condition: New. Glimpsing an elderly man leading his blind daughter on a pilgrimage, Junoshin Kakiri, a 'ronin' or freelance samurai, swiftly kills him with a sword. Asked why he murdered such an innocent, Junoshin shares his concerns about the growing 'Harahuhi Tou' (Belly-shaking Party) cult to which the man was devo…ted, a fear which rapidly spreads through the Kuroae clan. Shuzen Oura, the warlike leader of half this kingdom, soon hires Junoshin to destroy the cult but his studious power rival, Tatewaki Naito, cunningly pays the mercenary samurai to usurp Oura on his behalf. Set in Edo-period Japan, 'Punk Samurai Slash Down' follows the power struggles which entangle Junoshin within the Kuroae clan, polarizing the kingdom between an academic leader unable to fight and an unlearned martial arts expert.
