As for my term: Kobo Abe's (Abe Kobo's) The Woman in the Dunes is absolutely awesome. If there's anything to earlier Japanese literature it hasn't met my eyes--and translation can only be blamed for so much.

Abe and Kurosawa were both criticized for being "too Western" throughout their careers, also. Says something truly damning about either me or those critics.

There's also an amazing movie of Woman in the Dunes.
