 note = {pdf, This presentation will invert the apparent premise of the conference, shifting from “until the point Japanese literature takes form” to “from the point Japanese literature takes form.” I will be discussing the famous first enpon anthology, Kaizôsha’s Complete Works of Contemporary Japanese Literature, published between 1926 - 1931. In my recent book, Manufacturing Modern Japanese Literature (Duke University Press, 2010), I speculated on the impact this series had on the concept of modern Japanese literature, as it circulated not only a fixed body of texts, but also the concept of a “pure” modern national literature throughout a diverse reading community. Here we examine three new pieces of evidence about the series, and consider their implications for the relationship between the nation and literature. First, I discuss royalty payment receipts found among documents recently lent by the family of Kaizôsha founder, Yamamoto Sanehiko, to Keiô University. Second, I discuss copies of the anthology owned by the Seattle Japanese Language School. Finally, I discuss advertisements for the books that appeared prior to World War II in the Japanese language newspapers of Brazil. Finally, I speculate on what these material manifestations of “modern Japanese literature” suggest for the possible meanings of a national literature, once it is given form.},
