A Wild Haruki Chase: Kobe Program

Kobe Program
Along with Tokyo and Sapporo programs, in Haruki’s hometown
Kobe, we are going to organize a symposium inviting translators
and writers from South Korea, Canada, Czech, and Hong Kong.
The venue is Kobe High School, where Haruki Murakami spent his

Why don’t you participate in a ‘Wild Haruki Chase,’ an
adventure to search for unknown appeal of Murakami’s literature
with comparison of ‘Haruki boom’ in each country?
