- This book is the culmination of a long-term engagement with the literary oeuvre of Kajii Motojiro over a period of over 20 years. Intensive research between 2005 and 2011 resulted in this rigorous analysis of Kajii’s output, biography and historical context, the first English-language study of a short-lived figure in Japan’s modernist movement, supplemented with extensive original translations of his stories. Representing an original engagement with a neglected but vitally important writer from the period, the book demonstrates Kajii’s links with international modernist literary trends and his and the study’s significance both for and beyond the field of Japanese literature.
