Nipponia Nippon (ニッポニアニッポン, 2001) is a novel by Japanese writer Kazushige Abe, originally published in the June 2001 issue of Shincho, before appearing in book form the same year in an edition by Shinchosha. The work was nominated for the Akutagawa Prize in 2001, and for the Mishima Yukio Prize the following year.
