Songs of the Night

藤田和日郎短編集 夜の歌

Night Songs brings together six short stories by Kazuhiro Fujita, each one a self-contained tale that blends action, fantasy, and the supernatural. In "The Puppet Princess," princess Rangiku, the sole survivor of her family after Lord Karimata's invasion, sets out with her father's three greatest puppet warriors to avenge her clan. She seeks the aid of a ninja named Manajiri to protect her while she controls the puppets, as her concentration leaves her vulnerable to attack.

Other stories include "Song of the Open Palm," where a jailed martial artist recounts the events leading to a fatal duel; "Strange Ferry Tale," in which a runaway meets a brother and sister haunted by an ancient curse; "To the Merry-Go-Round!," about a karateka escorting a mysterious girl who insists on riding a carousel; and "Shall We Go Out Walking by Night?," a bizarre romance featuring detective Skuya Shuuhei. Each tale explores themes of duty, revenge, and the strange bonds that form between people, all rendered in Fujita's dynamic and expressive style.
