Summary
A patient in an asylum tells how he fell into the land of the kappa, water-sprites whose country mirrors Japan's, with its own art, law and views of birth and death. Akutagawa's satire of 1927, written in the last months of his life, sees human society through the eyes of its odd and unsparing inhabitants. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
