The sound of a trumpet across a Japanese mountain valley leads a young man to befriend a mysterious stranger. During repeated visits to the cave where the stranger has set up home, the young man learns about his past - in the mines, villages and ports of the region. The stranger's hilarious, bawdy and touching narratives captivate the young man, but he begins to doubt their veracity. Finally, as the young man decides his own fate, the full truth about the stranger is revealed in a remarkable twist. NP] 'Tales from a Mountain Cave' is a translation of Hisashi Inoue's very popular 'Shinshaku Tono Monogatari' (新釈遠野物語) set in the Kamaishi area of Iwate Prefecture, Northeast Japan. Kamaishi was devastated by the tsunami of March 2011. All royalties on sales of the book are donated to post-tsunami community support projects. It features 'House up the River', commended in the 2013 British Comparative Literature Association John Dryden Translation Competition.

A Difficult to Find T-Shirt
These T-Shirts are nice. A super difficult to find. The manufacturer calls it a mock-turtle neck (MTN). But the collar height is actually a bit shorter than the traditional MTN, which is great. It's closer to a regular T-Shirt that comes all the way to the neckline. And very somt a comfortable. This is the perfect style of T-Shirt to wear under a sportscoat, if desired. Or under a shirt where you want the T-Shirt to show for contrast. Just the right look.

Nice shirts for the price! But do not recommend for thick body types.
I bought 3 different ones. 2 Mediums and 1 2XL. The mediums fit correct and really nice! Would definitely recommend for the price! More like a exercise material, and sticks to your body shape... Sooo the 2Xl did not fit the person correct. Was so tight... And the strech is to stick to your body... So would not recommend for anyone a bit hefty or fit tbh. But the shirts are good materials and feel nice for a fresh day out or to use as gym clothes!!

Great Value heat gear material with high neck collar and loose fitting
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
My husband has been looking for mock neck shirts that are comparable to UA heat gear material but that are short sleeve and fit loose to wear under his work uniform. These seemed to have been a good soft quality option and the price is is great.
