Abstract

Hanagasa-Bunkyo the Second was Robun Kanagaki's favored disciple and a democratic popular writer in the second decade of the Meiji Period or in the earliest years of Japanese modern literature. He was well-known for his political novel Saishi-kajin: Keisetsu-bidan and especially for Soshi-no-fuchin-geigi-no-kuraku: Iro-no-kakumei, a scandalous story about the assassination of a prefectural governor. He was also a practitioner of his own socialistic theory, for he worked hard as a labor leader in Eiri-Jiyu Publishing Company. In this article, I will follow his literary career as a committed writer at the dawn of modern literature.
