An anthology of the greatest stories by modern Japanese masters (including previously overlooked women writers)!

Fourteen distinct voices are assembled in this one-of-a-kind anthology tracing a nation's changing social landscapes. Internationally renowned writers like Yasunari Kawabata, Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Junichi Watanabe are joined by three notable women writers whose works have not yet received sufficient attention—Kanoko Okamoto, Fumiko Hayashi and Yumiko Kurahashi.

Highlights of this anthology include:

* Kafu Nagai's bittersweet portrait of a privileged family's expiring existence in "The Fox"
* Ango Sakaguchi's heartening celebration of postwar chaos in "One Woman and the War"
* Fumiko Hayashi's unabashed exploration of female sexuality in "Borneo Diamond"
* Junichi Watanabe's chilling assessment of alienation and social dislocation in "Invitation to Suicide"
* Gishu Nakayama's look at an out-of-place prostitute recovering at a hot-spring resort in "Autumn Wind"

Through brilliant, highly-praised translations by Lane Dunlop, The Best Japanese Short Stories offers fascinating glimpses of a society embracing change while holding tenaciously onto the past. A new foreword by Alan Tansman provides insightful back stories about the authors and the literary backdrop against which they created these great works of modern world literature.

Easy to use
Color: Light Violet
Works well, charges at a good pace (neither too fast nor too slow which is perfect for me) but phone won't charge if it is on landscape mode. This is by design and it not an issue at all for me but I understand it could matter to others. Although the design is simple the color is pretty and it has been sturdy so far. No cable issues either. Magnets connect as they should even though I have a case on my phone, cause my case is not too thick, it still charges my phone. With my airpods case I do have to make sure it is right on the magnet cause if it is slightly off it won't charge but again this is design and not a huge issue. Due to the charger's shell being made of plastic (or what seems like plastic), the airpods case can easily slip on the charger as you set them to charge. Just a slight adjustment and it charges the airpods pro case. My bro used it to charge one of his more recent apple watches (forgot which one it is) and it charged just fine so it seems to be compatible with newer devices. I don't see why the magnetic charger wouldn't work on newer devices (i have an iPhone 14) because the magnetic charging works the same way, right? The only reason I see this charger not working would be 1) you or someone else drop and break it or 2) manufacturer defect.

Good choice for wireless charging of Apple devices
Color: White
I am very pleased with this charger stand. it is sturdy yet lightweight. It packs flat for travel. i can charge my iphone 15 max with its slim Otterbox case on. also charges my apple watch. A good product and affordable. The pad for Apple earbuds works well too, but it won’t charge another brand of earbuds I also use in its wireless case.

Definitely would buy again!
Color: Pink
This is a great charger stand! It’s very convenient, easy to use, and keeps everything organized in one place. The charging speed works well, and the design looks clean and modern. I also like that it helps reduce clutter and keeps devices upright while charging. Definitely a useful and reliable product!

3 in one charger station works 100% of the time!
Color: Light Violet, Color: Light Violet
This was a major addition in my life and a game changer for everything I wanted and more in my one charging station. It’s super great for the phone is chargers for, I have the iPhone 11 and it really helps me take a break from the corner of my room, cleaning it, and staying more productive during my day. Works great for AirPods that don’t come with the IPhone 11 and memory for buying those! It’s great for my living room where a ledge is in the middle between hallway and kitchen, and I love the purple, lavender color. It’s incredible! Really recommend this to anyone you know. It’s strong for the iPhones it does accept! Try it out and see for yourself! Easy and the box is recyclable! So cute! 😊 The magnet on the charger works like air and it needs a nice white ledge to be placed on or a new bed side long table. Good luck 👍 and enjoy! 😉

Great Wireless iPhone Charging Station
Color: Black
First and foremost, this is not a fast charger. It's a wireless charger, but still charges at a decent speed. If you're in a hurry and want a fast charge, use the provided cable for a direct connection to the provided charging block. If you can accept this, it's a great product that works as it should to charge your phone, watch, and ear buds simultaneously. I have an iPhone 17 Pro with an OtterBox Pro Defender case, and it charges just fine. Folds flat for travel. Seems well made and the price is reasonable. I have no complaints and would recommend this product.
