Translating Oda Sakunosuke

era: heisei (1989-2018), era: showa (1926-1989), notes on translating

Recently, I translated Oda Sakunosuke’s short story 『天衣無縫』(pronounced てんいむほう, tenimuho). As far as I can tell from a lot of Googling, the title hasn’t been translated into English before, except in the anime Bungo Stray Dogs. The associated light novel in which the term 天衣無縫 appears (Dazai Osamu and the Dark Era) hasn’t been released by the English rights-holders, Yen Press, but they have released most of the manga volumes in English and do publish light novels so maybe it’s on their to-do list.
