Rashomon

My favorite works "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Grove" by Akutagawa Ryunosuke give people a sense of being deeply immersed in the scene. Finally, the ending of "In the Bamboo Grove" does not know someone in the darkness... It is meaningful, scary and reasonable when you think about it. His works cannot be expressed in other words. The following is my impression of it: The man in black chases the white cat, meowing to guide him from time to time and saying, "Here comes the little cutie." The white cat quickly ran up the red brick wall toward the poplar forest. The figure sometimes flew quickly and sometimes stagnated (it would be better to say sluggish). The person who called him disappeared, and the poplar forest also disappeared. Maybe you will remember the cat litter box in your dream. The end of the end is chasing towards the fault. When he climbed up, an old woman picked him up and put him behind a cart. The woman was wearing unseasonable clothes and her face looked haggard. The stranger suddenly appeared on this unseasonable night. Although he was reluctant, he relaxed his vigilance by relying on a bit of goodwill. The wind howled as if it wanted to eat people. When I woke up, the old man was gone, and a little girl came with a modern-style surname and was mumbling something about the innocence that many people had lost. It was like a picture scroll. As for why, it was because he never woke up again. But there will still be people in black all day long, and Yixi disappears behind the red brick wall again. The wind was whistling and whistling as if it was going to swallow everything up. I can still think of the author's depressed mood at that time about the transition between the new era and the old era, and the inability to realize it.

A collection of masterpieces by geniuses. Akutagawa did not clearly express his subjective wishes in the article, so his article has many interpretations. Just like the confessions of the parties and witnesses in "In the Bamboo Forest", they are infinitely close to the truth, but they are not the truth. His article is worth reading again and again.

It needs to be read carefully. Although the language is a bit obscure, you will gradually understand it after reading it a few times. The content in the book deeply analyzes various aspects of human nature, which is worth pondering for us! Why did such an accomplished writer choose to commit suicide? If there is pressure, what kind of pressure is it?

The ninth book, which is about to pass in 2021, Ryunosuke really writes about human nature vividly.

Akutagawa-sensei's writing is excellent. ... But it's so uncomfortable.

The creation background is not taken into account the historical background, and it makes people feel frightened when describing human nature.

It's a book I really like. I've only read it once and I still can't fully understand its meaning. I will definitely come back and read it again. My favorites are "Hell Painting" and "In the Bamboo Forest"

I finished reading it, but I didn't quite understand it. I felt something vaguely, but I couldn't explain it clearly. After reading the comments from book friends in the comment area, I sometimes understand a little bit, maybe because I haven't reached that depth yet.

My favorite story is Hell Transformed, it's great! After reading some stories, you need to search the Internet for analysis before you can suddenly understand them.

The book is a good book, but it's not fun to read.

I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand. The most impressive ones are "The Nose", "Rashomon", "Hell Transformation", "Kappa" and "The Life of a Certain Idiot". The first four articles are easier to understand and have a long meaning. The fifth article is the author's summary of his life, which gives a glimpse into the author's mental journey.

People are complex individuals, and human nature manifests itself in various situations and backgrounds.

Rashomon---- I opened the novel and saw that there were a total of eighteen short stories with more than 150,000 words. Between the lines, two words were reflected everywhere - human nature! October 20, 2024, Sunday, the 18th day of the ninth lunar month, 11:05, the weather is fine, in Liuzhou.

A very powerful novel, but also difficult to understand. Personally, I prefer "Father", "Mr. Mori", "Orange" and "Monkey".

It's very interesting, especially the descriptions in the first few chapters, which provide a good analysis of human nature.

Exposing human nature, I like it!

Emmmm, how should I put it? Every article is satirical and has its own meaning.

A very interesting and meaningful book

Especially the woman in "Rashomon". Although her behavior was despicable, it made me feel the helplessness of survival. This reminds me of Jean Valjean in "Les Misérables". They both made difficult choices in extreme circumstances. Moreover, the illustrations in the book are also very beautiful and match the story perfectly. All in all, this is a book well worth reading!

I finished reading it in December 2021 and felt emotional

There are wonderful twists and turns, but maybe because I'm not Japanese and don't understand Japanese culture, I couldn't understand many of the hints and plots. Average? Anyway, I still can't taste it.

The young author has rich imagination and presents each pocket novel in front of readers. A book worth reading.

This is a very objective book. In its short words, it condenses detailed observations and experiences of life. Very worth experiencing again and again.

Little stories one by one

My favorite is "In the Bamboo Forest and the Transformation in Hell". I may not have read the other plots thoroughly because of my limited experience.

Akutagawa's books are naturally good [blowing kiss]

My favorite among them is Hell Transformation, Dragon, Nose, and Kappa.

Mr. Ryunosuke Akutagawa wrote it very well, but the translation of this version is a bit difficult for me to understand.

Not wordy, not boring, and meaningful

Hell transformation, Rashomon, nose, bamboo forest, dragon, very Ukiyo-e feeling.
