Featured writer |  Ryūnosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927) is considered the father of the Japanese short story. He was born in Tokyo. Sadly, he committed suicide at the age of 35. We feature one of his most famous stories, Rashomon. It is an evocative tale of a lowly servant who steals the kimono from an old woman. |
