Book Description

Publication Date: January 2000 | Series: Brill's Japanese Studies Library (Book 11)

The early 20th century Shirakaba ("White Birch") movement's later involvement with prewar Japanese nationalism has hitherto caused especially Western scholars to neglect its major significance. Shirakaba was created by graduates of the aristocratic Gakushuin ("Peers' School") in reaction against the dominant naturalism of contemporary Japanese literature. Though at first seeking ideological and cultural models in Europe, Shirakaba writers soon developed an increasing sense of their own "Japaneseness". The first part of this volume chronicles the birth of this literary movement and of its important magazine under the charismatic leadership of Mushanokoji Saneatsu. In the second part the author illuminates the ethos of the movement by analysing the figure of the Sensei (Master) in key Shirakaba texts by Mushanokoji Saneatsu, Yoshiro Nagayo and Kurata Hyakuzo.
