Shibata Renzaburo and the Reinvention of Modernism in Postwar
Japanese Popular Literature explores the life and work of Shibata
Renzaburo ( , 1917-1978), the author of adventure and historical
novels who was instrumental in reinvigorating popular Japanese
literature in the postwar period. This book considers postwar
Japanese society through the prism of Shibata's writing, exploring
how the postwar period under SCAP Occupation influenced Shibata's
writing and generated the extraordinary popularity of samurai
fiction in the postwar era at large. Through the use of a
nihilistic warrior, Nemuri Kyoshiro, and other samurai characters,
Shibata Renzaburo addresses important social issues of the day,
such as the trauma of defeat, postwar reconstruction, and the
attending societal ills and neuroses, while keeping his literature
entertaining and easy to read, which ensured its mass appeal in
postwar Japan.
