Rikka is an author about whom little public information is available; her nationality, dates of birth and death, and English name have not been clearly recorded. Five of her works are currently held in the collection, including The Moon Over the Mountain, Dream of Light and Wind, Shadowed Reflections: Stories Around My Mother, the two-volume Nakajima Atsushi Novel Set: The Moon Over the Mountain and Dream of Light and Wind, and What Strange Creatures Humans Are. They are usually classified under foreign literature and social science. Judging from these works, Rikka's writing often centers on the arrangement and re-presentation of classic texts, as well as on themes such as family bonds and human nature. The Moon Over the Mountain and Dream of Light and Wind engage with the creative world of Nakajima Atsushi, and the set brings the two together; Shadowed Reflections unfolds around the author's mother, carrying a warmth of memory and feeling; What Strange Creatures Humans Are reveals an interest in the subtle recesses of human nature. Overall, her works combine literary reading with reflection, and will suit readers interested in foreign literature and questions of human nature. Because public information is limited, no further confirmed details about the author herself are available.
