Description

<p>In the prewar period there were some writers who started their career because they won a prize in the literary competition regularly held by the magazine Kaizō, the prototype of the current literary prizes such as the Naoki Prize and the Akutagawa Prize. But unfortunately most of them soon became obscure or quit writing. This article will focus on Kōjirō Serizawa, one of the few prize winners who succeeded as a professional writer, to show what role those “prize writers” played in the history of modern Japanese literature.</p>
