Japanese /lit/

My favourite strongly japanese books are probably essays on idleness followed by akutagawa's works.
Have you tried reading selections from the manyoushuu?
What about noh theatre?
It's pretty dry but they have japanese mythology in them and I found a few of them fascinating, especially the one about the sea dragon god thing and the prince.
