Akutagawa's unpublished notes found in Tokyo bookstore

TOKYO, Japan - Photo shows five unpublished notebook pages written by Ryunosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927), one of modern Japan's best known writers. The notes, which had been found in an antique bookstore in Tokyo's Kanda district, were apparently part of a collection of tales of folklore, specters, phantoms and ghosts that Akutagawa assembled while he was in high school, researchers say.
