As for me my favorites are Dazai, Abe Kobo and Endo Shuzako,
Endo Shusako's Silence and Ab'es Woman in the Dunes are very famous novels and the latter was made into a very famous film in Japanese. Soseki is a bit of a God in Japanese literaure as well as Mishima.

Thanks. I'll look into some of your recommendations. Tanizaki is one my favorites. I couldn't get into Kenzaburo Oe, but have been meaning to take another crack at him.
