Note:

A reviewer on Amazon points out that this 1999 Marsilio Publications edition of Akutagawa stories (Lippit, ed., The Essential Akutagawa) consists of translations that are old, poorly done in some cases, and need to be replaced by newer, more competent translations. Since then, in 2006, Penguin published a new collection of translations by Jay Rubin:

Tanizaki, The Makioka Sisters (1995)

Junichiro Tanizaki.
The Makioka Sisters.
Translated by Edward G. Seidensticker.
New York: Vintage Books (Penguin Random House), 1995.
This translation was first published in 1957.

Wikipedia Articles:

• Jun'ichirō Tanizaki (1886 – 1965).
• Tanizaki, The Makioka Sisters, first published in parts from 1943 to 1948.
  The original Japanese title of the novel, Sasameyuki, translates as "Light Snow".
  People say that "yuki" (snow) in the title echoes the name of the character Yukiko around whom a major storyline of the novel revolves.
• Edward Seidensticker (1921–2007).
• Some historical events mentioned in The Makioka Sisters :
  (Note: the politics, militarism, and wars of the period of the novel, 1936-1941, are rarely and mostly only indirectly mentioned.)
  • Marco Polo Bridge incident, July 1937.
  • Second Sino-Japanese War, 1937-1945.
  • 1938 Hanshin flood, July 1938.
  • 1923 Great Kantō earthquake.
    In Book Two, Chapter 10, in the aftermath of the 1938 flood, the destruction reminds the character Teinosuke "of Tokyo and Yokohama after the great earthquake," referring to the 1923 event in which more than 100,000 people died.
    Tanizaki may also have been thinking of the relatively less destructive 1894 Tokyo earthquake which he experienced as a child.
    The Wikipedia article for the 1894 event says "The earthquake is also mentioned by author Jun'ichirō Tanizaki in his autobiographical work, Yosho-jidai, in which he described how his family's house collapsed during the earthquake, a traumatic event to which he attributed his lifelong phobia of earthquakes."

Akutagawa, Rashōmon and Other Stories (2018)

Translated by Takashi Kojima.
Forward by Seiji Lippit.
Introduction by Howard Hibbett.
Tokyo; Rutland, Vermont; and Singapore: Tuttle Publishing [Periplus Editions (HK) Ltd.], 2018.
(This collection of translations was also published in 1952 by Liveright Publishing Corporation and reprinted in 1999 under the Liveright imprint by W.W. Norton & Company.)

Wikipedia Articles:

• Ryūnosuke Akutagawa (1892 – 1927).
• Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, In a Grove, 1922.
  ("In a Grove" provides the main storyline in Akira Kurosawa's film Rashomon, 1950.)

• Japanese literature: Meiji, Taishō, and early Shōwa-period literature (1868–1945).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Notes:

The Tuttle Publishing (and Liveright/Norton) edition of Rashōmon and Other Stories contains only six stories. In contrast, the collection of Akutagawa stories first published by Penguin in 2006 (and reprinted in Penguin "Deluxe" and "Vitae" editions) has eighteen stories. On the basis of numbers alone, in hindsight I would have rather purchased one of the Penguin edition first (although Tuttle generally uses higher quality paper and binding than Penguin).

Diesen provides a very good summary of international relations theory, contrasting realism and liberalism, which then provides a very insightful framework for understanding geopolitical events over the last 500 years. He then describes events since the late-1980s end of the Cold War, how the West's/USA's dismissal of Russia's security concerns and aggressive expansion of NATO eastwards eventually provoked the recent war in Ukraine, and the consequences this has for the now emerging (already emerged) multipolar world order and the end of previous world order of liberal hegemony dominated by the USA. This book is an excellent introduction to understanding past events and the approaching future.

Lao-Tzu; Addiss & Lombardo trans, Tao Te Ching (2007)

Lao-Tzu.
Tao Te Ching.
Translated by Stephen Addiss and Stanley Lombardo.
Boulder, Colorado: Shambhala Publications, 2007.
Originally published: Hackett Publishing Company, 1993.

Wikipedia Articles:

• Laozi.
• Tao Te Ching.
• Tao.
• Wu wei.
• Taoism.
• Taoist philosophy.

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy:

• Religious Daoism.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This edition of the Addiss and Lombardo translation has these dust jacket blurbs by Gary Snyder:

• "Of the many translations I have read in English, this is unquestionably the best."
• "This crystalline translation of the Tao Te Ching is accurate down to the nuance and is as concisely poetic as the original. It preserves the quirks and flavors of the original text. The translators harkened to the message of the book itself, and kept it clear and gently strong."

I chose this book on the basis of these endorsements by Gary Snyder (also, it's a nice little hardback, printed on nice paper). While this translation is very poetic (how would I know that it follows the original text very closely?) I also found it very terse and cryptic. This edition has no explanatory notes or commentary; the Introduction by Burton Watson provides some historical context but is of no help in understanding the text. As a beginner encountering the Tao Te Ching for the first time I often found this edition too cryptic and occasionally, to me, incomprehensible. I think an edition with added commentary or explanatory notes would be very helpful. Here are some alternatives.
