Japanese Books Inspired by Lewis Carroll

Alice books and other Lewis Carroll's works inspire many writers in English-speaking countries. His works inspire even Japanese writers, too. Unfortunately only few of their works are translated into English and most of them await introduction to English-speaking people. In this page I list up Japanese books and stories inspired by Lewis Carroll. May these books be translated into English and many othe languages.
