It is not rare that an athlete breaks his record newly during a certain period continuously in the athletic world. Indeed, the same thing happens in a literary planet as well. Shigeharu Nakano was a Japanese author and Communist Party politician, and also a top runner of the age for the youth that began to open their eyes with Marxism through the literary world. Because those people who came to the stage already despaired all the Japanese existed, besides for them the death of Akutagawa was felt the death of Japanese literature. They thought that now, a new literature has to be built up by the hand of theirs. In 1927, the same year of the death, a magazine that had a strong red coloured flag on the front page was published, attracted people in the …show more content…
Although, the readers that had a look of it memorized, he worked there with the aggressive argument and a bit of enjoyment too, then his writings only became first since ever. This work 'A scribbled note about arts,' was published in 1928, a few months after that the Japanese communism party was attacked terribly and most members were arrested, had a catastrophic damage indeed. It was apparent that his some essays feel more interesting, amusing like speaking to himself than any other works in the book, though even the rest controversial parts within grasped the readers mind as well because of the situation under at the time.

    I found this Yakudoshi party fun and very informative celebration (not to mention the great meal my wife and I had). I had an idea of the different types or the variety of food the Japanese culture has to offer, however, I think the most valuable lessons here were learning about the culture. I was fortunate enough to hear how the older generation and the younger generation view the practice of Yakudoshi, compare their views on food, hear and learn about some Japanese etiquettes (especially in the use of chopsticks as I described it in the discussion experience below), and hear their views on interracial marriage. Although the young Japanese couple had a hard time convincing their children to consume some of their meal, watching the young…

As a result, writing, supplies individuals with accessibility to reflect gender and commentary of ascribed conditions expected of men and women within…

    Another perspective is the patriarchal view that Murasaki was merely following the literary trends of the day, which made it possible for women to author their own books in a literary context.

For instance, Keene’s (1955) historical argument for Murasaki’s authorship is defined within the context of patriarchal Japanese and Chinese traditions: “One of the unusual features of Heian literature is that such works as The Tale of the Genji”, most of the diaries, and much of the poetry were written by women. The usual explanation for this curious fact is that the men considered writing in Japanese beneath them and devoted themselves to the occupation of poetry and prose in Chinese, leaving the women to write masterpieces in the native language (Keene 23).…
