!bookworms I'm thinking about reading “Confessions of a Mask” by Yukio Mishima, what are your thoughts on him and other Japanese authors? Personally I've never read a book by any Jap author so far (Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki but he's pretty much an Englishman through and through and his best book The Remains of the Day is the quintessential portray of British character).

Read the Nobel winners. Both Yasunari Kawabata and Kenzaburo Oe are excellent.
Japan also has a great detective fiction scene. If you like that stuff I recommend The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino.
