Not only Manga
Japan has developed a profoundly original literary tradition in which the different genres and forms gave to the literature world some of the greatest masterpieces: The Tale of Genji. The shining Prince and the haiku poetry of Matsuo Basho Haiku 4.

Thanks to the renewed contact with the West in the late nineteenth century , the Japanese literature blossoms again all along the twentieth century.
Today there are more and more Japanese authors translated into western languages … Some of them are well known and loved in Italy: Junichiro Tanizaki, Yasunari Kawabata (Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968), Yukio Mishima, Kenzaburo Oe (Nobel Prize for literature in 1994), Banana Yoshimoto, Haruki Murakami. We are waiting for publishers to translate many other representatives writers of this new generation in which coexist in the same way, a strong connection between the Japanese tradition and the tension toward a new cosmopolitanism.
Before inviting you to read some of these authors with our suggestion, here are some useful links:

* Japanese Cultural Institute
* Japanese literature
* Haiku National Literary Award
* Editions Picquier
* Genji Official Sony PS3 Trailer

At the rear of the books you will find some DVDs of Japanese directors or set in the east land, a very limited selection to begin to cast a glance on this wonderful country …
