There’s a recent (2023) novel translated from Japanese for which this is a central concept in the plot (since I read it in translation, I don’t know if Ikigai is mentioned in the original). It’s entitled What You Are Looking For Is In The Library by Michiko Aoyama. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1335005625/donhosek http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1335005625/donhosek I first learned of it thanks to reading all the shortlist books from this year’s Tournament of Books https://www.tournamentofbooks.com https://www.tournamentofbooks.com
