I feel it with your stream of consciousness comment. Have you read the essay In Praise of Shadows? It's a neat little essay about Japanese aesthetics and the like. The dude's got some great short stories, too.

I'll check out The Dead. I've only read one story from Dubliner's and, now that I think about it, I did get a little mono no aware feeling.
I'm also planning to pick up Snow Country by Kawabata.
I think the real challenge for me is translating mono no aware into an authentic American version (where I'm from), not just pulling in foreign ideas.
