[Signed Book/with Bonus Item] Okazaki, Yoshihisa "Cash and Dish"

Autographed by the author & includes a bonus short story booklet "My Soup"

The only memento his uncle left behind was a light, smooth, white dish. A man living on irregular work eventually discovers its power. The title story, "Cash and Dish," tells how a dish that repays the cost of items purchased transforms the man's room and life.
A man working at a book distribution center endures winter, supported by the hope of attending art school in spring. Simple labor, sunlight on the rooftop, a motorcycle, a huge woman. "10 Centimeters Per Second Over Winter," a Akutagawa Prize-winning work, depicts how time that should have been used to escape passes by in front of a moving conveyor belt.
Two stories, set 20 years apart in 1997 and 2020, depict eroding lives, unseen exits, deferred futures, and self-responsibility. They capture the stagnation and resistance of the lost 30 years.

The second release in the talked-about new literary series [First Archives].
