Just as "Han's Crime" has minimal setting, it also has minimal imagery. Shiga and his generation of writers wanted to be as "factual" and as close to "real life" as possible, and hence avoided the kind of literary symbolism and imagery found in Japanese poetry or Western writing of the early twentieth century.
