One Hundred Tales of Kansai

The Blue Princess

This book brings together one hundred short, first-person accounts. They can be read in any order, though a chronological reading will reveal echoes and correspondences between certain voices.

None of the stories ends with a definitive resolution. The ambiguity is deliberate: each account may be read as a troubling coincidence, a psychological effect, or something else. That indeterminacy is part of the design.

Some narrators mention people or events that appear in other chapters. These cross-references form the book’s hidden weave.
