Ryūnosuke Niihara was born in Kyōbashi, Tokyo in Japan on the 1st March 1892. Sadly, his mother suffered severe mental illness after his birth and so, at only eight months old, he was sent to be raised by his maternal uncle and aunt, from whom he received the Akutagawa family name. Akutagawa published "Rashōmon" in 1915 and whilst it was disliked by his friends everyone else knew better. As other short stories followed so did his growing literary reputation as the father of the Japanese short story.

The Kappa is a creature from Japanese folklore known for dragging unwary toddlers to their deaths in rivers: a scaly, child-sized creature, looking something like a frog, but with a sharp, pointed beak and an oval-shaped saucer on top of its head, which hardens with age. Akutagawa’s Kappa is narrated by Patient No. 23, a madman in a lunatic asylum: he recounts how, while out hiking in Kamikochi, he spots a Kappa.

Una de las obras capitales del autor japonés Akutagawa Ryūnosuke, de la cual el director Akira Kurosawa tomó varios detalles a la hora de adaptar su película homónima, narra el encuentro de un sirviente humilde que acaba de ser despedido por su señor y una anciana pícara que roba el pelo de los cadáveres y vende carne de serpiente haciéndola pasar por pescado. El cuento, de final inesperado, supone una reflexión sobre los límites de la moral que sacudió a los lectores de la revista universitaria Teikoku Bungaku (Literatura imperial), donde fue publicada por primera vez.

Un hombre encerrado en un hospital psiquiátrico cuenta a quien quiera oírlo la historia de los Kappas, unas criaturas mitad humanas y mitad anfibias a cuyo mundo, espejo deformante del de la superficie, llegó tras caer por un agujero mientras recorría el monte Hokada. Este relato y los que lo acompañan presentan un mosaico de fábulas alegóricas cercanas al realismo mágico sobre el Japón contemporáneo.

Akutagawa fue un escritor japonés de corta pero notable trayectoria. Es uno de los autores más problemáticos, inquietantes, versátiles y discutidos de nuestro siglo, no sólo bien conocido en Japón, sino también en Occidente, en donde hace ya bastante tiempo que muchas de sus obras han sido traducidas y presentadas al público.

Akutagawas Meisterwerk "Im Dickicht" spielt im alten Japan. Der genaue Hergang eines Mords wird in acht vollkommen widersprüchlichen Zeugenaussagen vorgeführt. Die archaische Tragik des Geschehens spiegelt sich virtuos in der modernen Erzählweise. "Im Dickicht" war Vorlage für Akira Kurosawas berühmten Film "Rashomon". Das vorliegende Hörbuch präsentiert eine völlig neue Interpretation des Textes: in der Kombination von erzählender Stimme und Jazz-Schlagzeug entsteht diese absolut eigenständige Klangerzählung von packender Intensität.
