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.
