This is the ninth and the final research note. The works discussed so far have mainly been medium-length stories published within about three years of Banana Yoshimoto's debut. In her series of works, synchronicity has been a key characteristic. Here I focus on her collection of short stories from the same period. Reading the stories, one clearly sees this synchronicity, which is homogeneous with the characteristics pointed out in earlier serial notes. The synchronicity owes a great deal to the author's self rather than her personality. To put it another way, as will be clear from the stories under consideration, it comes from the author's paradoxical egocentricity. Effects which serve to integrate the self and the non-self, heavily influence the process of her writings. Through intuitional analyses of such works, we can see that the function of this integration is saliently multiplied throughout her works.
