He was the leader of the (later) naturalist movement around 1906?1912, and author of its representative novel Futon (1907), which established a trend of autobiographical novels. His perception of 'nature' changed through the years from natural beauty to the 'natural individual' ? on which Japanese later naturalism was based, following German models rather than French ? and ultimately fate, time and religion. All his writings are naturo-centric in one sense or another. In this ground-breaking study, In Search of Nature , Kenneth G. Henshall provides a 'cradle-to-grave' account of Katai and his prose fiction, and also corrects the mistaken belief that Japanese naturalism was a failure. 606 $aNaturalism in literature 606 $aNature in literature 615 0$aNaturalism in literature. 615 0$aNature in literature. 676 $a895.6/34 676 $a895.634 700 $aHenshall$b Kenneth G$0592401 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786575803321 996 $aIn search of nature$93747375 997 $aUNINA
