一いっ夕せき話わ

noun

short story; short-story writer

Rare literary term. Can refer to a short story itself or, by extension, a writer of short stories. Not used in everyday conversation; modern Japanese prefers 短編小説 for the story and 短編作家 for the writer.

• 「一いっ夕せき話わ」という言こと葉ばは、古ふるい随ずい筆ひつや書しょ簡かんで短みじかい物もの語がたりやその作さく者しゃを指さすことがある。

  The word 一夕話 can refer to a short tale or its author in old essays and letters.
