Every time I see Kurosawa's "Rashomon" I cannot help but see it an allegory for pre-Imperialist Japan (Japan being the woman ravaged by forces beyond her control). I've often wondered what Akutagawa might have written had he lived. As a Japanese writer, he was quite ahead of his time, an anachronism. Indeed, I see much of him in the works of modern Japanese writers and artists. My only sadness is that I only know his work through translation, and not the original text (so much gets lost). I think he would feel quite at home in our world, though.

Thank you:) Ah..ja, Lord Kitchener, love him, he was a man of his time, as echoed in some of his lyrics, but he did a lot for popularising calypso/steel band. Bemused that you've heard of him, i'll have to take your library for a spin and see what it throws up :~)

"The hand taking up the pen had started to tremble. He drooled. His head, only after a 0.8 dose of Veronal did it have any clarity. But even then, only for half an hour or an hour. In this semi-darkness day to day he lived. The blade nicked, a slim sword for a stick." -- "Defeat" from 'A Fool's Life', Ryunosuke Akutagawa, July 24th, 1927. Thanks for the visit.
