Description

This is the most well known modern Japanese short story owing to it being the plot of Akira Kurosawa's Rashōmon. The basic plot is a murder and rape occurs, but no one who witnesses it (4 to 5 people) can agree on how or what the details of it are. This story gives a great insight into how who we are can effect how we perceive even basic things.
