Hey y'all
I'm looking for good Japanese literature/authors translated to English, some books that you'd read or you're reading and that are worth of a recommendation.
It can be about any topic and category.
Thanks.
P.S. Don't recommend me Murakami, I'd like to explore new authors.

The Master of Go by Yasunari Kawabata – really good translations available..I grew fond of the game after reading this.
Sweet Bean Paste by Tetsuya Akikawa. Quite popular and definitely worth it.
Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop- Satoshi Yagisawa. As a book lover, it’s based on a theme close to my heart.
