Abstract
The aim of the research is to determine the most significant features of such a genre variety of the Japanese short-short story as a parable story (using the material of Shinichi Hoshi’s prose). Scientific novelty of the paper lies in the fact that it is the first time that a genre model of parable narration has been identified and described in the corpus of short-short story texts. The research findings indicate that the Japanese parable short-short story has common features that are typologically peculiar to the narrative prose of a low word count as a whole, but it also displays properties that do not correspond to the concept of fantasy literature, to which it is often attributed, and, naturally, it is not related to the novella, with which it is mistakenly associated due to its insignificant word count.
