Dictionary of Metaphors [Japanese]

By Akira Nakamura

A dictionary that helps readers naturally learn how to use metaphor, a key technique in Japanese expression. It emphasizes improving writing skills through exposure to a wide range of excellent literary examples. Japanese often uses the imagery behind words in figurative expressions. For example, "rock" is used to suggest something hard and immovable, while "cotton" suggests something light and soft. This book classifies examples of figurative usage by the words used in comparison, featuring quotations from authors such as Natsume Soseki, Yukio Mishima, Ryotaro Shiba, Shuhei Fujisawa, Jun Ikeido, and Shion Miura.
