Kyoko Nakajima

"The ten acclaimed stories in this collection are pervaded by an air of Japanese ghostliness. In beautifully crafted and deceptively light prose, Nakajima portrays men and women beset by cultural amnesia and unaware of how haunted they are - by fragmented memories of war and occupation, by fading traditions, by buildings lost to firestorms and bulldozers, by the spirits of their recent past."--Publisher's page.

3 and a half stars! my favorite stories are the life story of a sewing machine, kirara’s paper plane, a special day, and the harajuku house.

What a wonderful collection of short stories! 

The 10 relatively stories are mostly understated and quiet, but paint a vivid picture of a modern Japan where the past and the dead are ever present. And many of the stories have rather satisfying plot twists right in the very last sentences.
