So, you want to get into Japanese literature? Welcome! Here are some great recs (and one terrible rec) to get you started on your journey. I've read a fair number of Japanese books in translation (and even moved over there for a year), so feel like I can offer a fair insight. Let me know if you would like a further breakdown of Japanese lit by era! Could be fun!
