Abstract
<p>“Yoshin-chōsho” (1926), Hatsunosuke Hirabayashi's first short story, has been interpreted in terms of the author's own concept of modern detective fiction. But the text represents more than the abstract idea of modernity; it also exposes its ideological nature through the description of the arbitrary procedures of a preliminary examination and a sanity hearing in the closet. It is violence legitimatized in the name of modernity.</p>
