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).

Tuttle recently published a Manga version of these stories:
