Been reading a bunch of Japanese literature lately like murakami, Mishima, osamu dazai etc. Anyone got any recommendations to authors or books that give off the same feel these authors give

Why is everything Murakami other than Norwegian wood so shit

Not Japanese but it's easy to move from Murakami to the Western literature that inspired him. Try F Scott Fitzgerald, Raymond Chandler, W Somerset Maugham. This is a fairly easy task because Murakami usually spends a good chunk of his books telling you about things he enjoys.
