Japanese Literary Giant: Starting from the Bubble Era

Japan has two literary giants who won the Nobel Prize. The first is Kawabata Yasunari, who wrote "Snow Country", the highest peak of Japanese literature. The second is Oe Kenzaburo, who is famous for his serious literature that criticizes reality. The status of literary giants is particularly high, especially in Japan. A Japanese Prime Minister may not necessarily have a higher status in the eyes of the public than a world-class literary giant. In 1994, Oe Kenzaburo refused to receive the official medal, the highest honor in Japanese cultural circles, and criticized the Japanese official for avoiding historical responsibilities in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech. Japanese officials have no choice but to deal with it coldly. However, in Japanese history, there are more than one world-class literary giant who did not win the Nobel Prize but had the same lofty status. It's just that this world doesn't have Osamu Dazai, Haruki Murakami, Kobo Abe, or Soseki Natsume… Traveling through Tokyo, Tachibana Tsukasa, who was at the bottom of his life, embarked on the road of literature from the bubble era.
