CThis
site contains a fairly long list of Japanese writers that can be viewed
in both English and Japanese. It provides index to the Japanese authors
with brief biographical information. Note that this list follows the usual
Japanese practice of giving the surname first. For reasons of typeface

by circumflexes rather than by macrons.

Developer: Petri Liukkonen
This site contains information
about the Japanese novelist who became at the end of World War II the literary
voice of his generation. Dazai's life ended in double-suicide with his
married lover. In many books Dazai used biographical material from his
own family background as the son of wealthy landowner and politician. He
also wrote children's stories and historical narratives some of which are
Shayo (1947, The Setting Sun) and Ningen Shikkaku (1948, No Longer Human).
Abe
Kobo
http://www.ibiblio.org/abekobo/
Developer: Mark Gibeau
Abe Kôbô (pron.
"Ah-bay Koh-boh") (1924-1993) stands out from his contemporaries in postwar
Japanese literature in a number of ways. His works differ dramatically
from the subjective, ultra-realistic and autobiographical-esque style that
characterizes a great deal of postwar literature in general and postwar
Japanese literature in particular.
Kenji

Miyazawa
Kenji has transcended the generations to become one of Japan's most read
and best loved authors. Born over a hundred years ago in 1896 in Iwate
Prefecture, he was only 37 at the time of his death. Kenji's literary works
received scant attention during his lifetime and only two books were published
before his passing: a collection of children's tales entitled "The Restaurant
of Many Orders" and the first section of his most famous work of poetry,
"Spring and Ashura." The remainder of the great number of children's stories
and poems that he left behind was edited and published only posthumously,
after which the richness and depth of his art finally gained wide recognition.
