Japanese literature is distinguished by its cultural influences, preference for brevity, limited exposure to Western traditions, emphasis on personal experience, and a focus on the beauty of impermanence. Works like 'The Tale of Genji' and formats such as haiku exemplify these characteristics. These elements create a literary tradition that is unique compared to other global literatures.
