Though banned three weeks after its publication in 1909, Vita Sexualis is far more than a prurient erotic novel. The narrator, a professor of philosophy, wrestles with issues of sexual desire, sex education, and the proper place of sensuality. He tells the story of his own journey into sexual awareness, spanning fifteen years, from his first exposure to erotic woodcuts at the age of six, to his first physical response to a woman, and his eventual encounter with a professional courtesan. Beyond being a poignant account of one boys coming of age, Vita Sexualis is also an important record of Japans moral struggles during the cultural upheaval of the last years of the Meiji era.In response to the publication of Vita Sexualis, Ogai Mori was reprimanded by Japans viceminister of war.

If you love literature, this collection is a must-have! The stories are well-chosen and give a taste of Japan's diverse literary heritage. I especially liked the cultural notes included. Just be ready for some heavier themes!

Lovely collection but shipping was slow
While the Tuttle Classics of Japanese Literature is beautifully arranged and includes some fantastic works, I was disappointed with the shipping. It took longer than expected to arrive. Nonetheless, the content makes up for it!

Not what I expected
I was really looking forward to this collection, but some stories just didn’t resonate with me. The translations are fine, yet a few pieces felt outdated. Definitely worth checking out, but it wasn’t for me.

Interesting but some pieces are dense
I found the Tuttle Classics of Japanese Literature quite intriguing. Some stories are very rich and thought-provoking, but others felt a bit too dense for my taste. Still, I enjoyed the variety! It's a great introduction to different styles.
