- 百物語（ひゃくものがたり）
- : These short stories are good and fun reads. There is some dialectical speech, but any form of a language is technically dialectical. Most stories are written completely in 関東弁, which is the category that comprises most dialects spoken in East Japanese, including 標準語. 標準語 is just artificially tweaked 関東弁. Given that there is more than 300 of them, you have one for basically each day of the year. Happy reading.
