Rashomon and 17 other stories by Akutagawa Ryūnosuke

This compilation comes with an introduction by Haruki Murakami which I thoroughly enjoyed particularly mentions of Akutagawa's literary influences. I only read 5 stories as follows:

1. Rashomon: a man wanders among corpses.... Loved it.

2. In a Bamboo Groove: several people relate their own versions of a crime. Gripping.

-- I learned about these 2 stories when I read The Films of Akira Kurosawa. The famous director based his Rashomon movie on the above stories.

3. The Nose: a monk worries about his ginormous nose. Thanks to @rotaheche for recommending this story to me. I liked it a lot.

4. Dr Ogata Ryosai: Memorandum: a woman who belongs to a Kirishitan (Christian) sect begs a doctor to cure her daughter but the doctor asks the woman to renounce to her faith first. I really liked this one.

5. Daidoji Shinsuke: the early years: about a boy called Shinosuke and some things that happen to him. Not my cup of tea.

Update

I read Dragon: the Old Potters Tale: another story about a monk with a big nose. The monk writes a sign saying "on the third day of the third month the dragon of this pond will ascend to heaven" everyone believe the sign and get ready to witness the ascend.
