Japanese Literature (Japanese Art Gallery)

In the long history, Japanese literature has experienced a development process from natural occurrence to being deeply influenced by Chinese literature, then to the restoration of its own literary tradition, and finally to the vigorous absorption of Western literary concepts and literary techniques. "Japanese Literature" is written in chronological order, from ancient times to modern times, introducing the development of oral literature to written literature in detail, describing myths, legends, primitive ballads, Japanese songs, Chinese poems, monogatari, diaries, essays, renditions, haiku, popular novels and modern novels. Literary forms evolved from the duality of early modern literature to mid-term literature, which gradually became diversified, common people, and popular, resulting in rich and varied literary forms. In the process of its literary development, Japan has always insisted on being eclectic and vigorously absorbing excellent foreign literature and culture, making Japanese literature always occupy an important place in world literature.
