This is a first edition of Toshio Shimao's short story collection, "Yume-kuzu" (Dream Scraps). Published by Kodansha on March 18, 1985. It contains eight short stories published after the final chapter of "Shi no Toge" (The Sting of Death), depicting the inner lives of people wavering on the boundary between dreams and reality. There is some yellowing due to age. The obi (paper band) has a tear, but it does not affect readability. Recommended for those looking for a first edition, or for fans of Showa literature and the works of Toshio Shimao. Please consider this item with the condition understood.
