Biography

Born in Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture. Dropped out of Waseda University. In 1924, together with Kawabata Yasunari and others, he founded "Bungei Jidai" (Literary Age), becoming a central figure of the Shinkankaku-ha (Neo-perceptionist school). Major works include "Sun" (Nichirin), "Flies" (Hae), "The Machine" (Kikai), "Family Crest" (Monshō), and "Travel Weariness" (Ryoshū). His experimental modernist style influenced Japanese literature of the 1920s and 1930s.
