Well, 'The Nose' by Akutagawa is also a famous Japanese short novel. It's a rather satirical story about a priest who is overly concerned with his large nose and how his life changes when the nose magically shrinks. And 'The Little Prince of the House' by Osamu Dazai is quite interesting too. It shows a different side of Dazai's writing with its unique story of a family and a young boy.

The Japanese word for short novels is 'tanpen shousetsu' or just 'tanpen' in short.
Japanese short novels often have concise yet vivid descriptions. They can convey complex emotions and themes in a relatively short space. For example, in Akutagawa's works, he uses precise language to explore deep philosophical ideas. Another characteristic is the focus on human nature. Many Japanese short novels, like those of Dazai Osamu, expose the dark and fragile sides of human nature.
