Subtle and emotional japanese novel

I don't know whether it was the mood I was at when I read this book or the book itself, but this very simple, highly emotional japanese novel left a very good impression. I think Matsubara collects very well the subtlesness of Japanese culture and aesthetics and translates it into a story that is not only easy to read but also easy to fall for. I am a fan of Japanese literature, although I still find the work of some authors difficult to fully engage with. This is clearly not the case of Matusbara's "Cranes at Dusk".
