In August 1925, Yokomitsu Riichi (1898-1947), who had been hailed as the leader of the Neo-Sensualist movement, published the short story 'Machi no Soko', in the magazine 'Bungei Jidai'. This work appeared at a time when, as the critic Hirano Ken has pointed out, the Japanese world of letters was dominated by the sanpa teiritsu, i.e., the three-cornered contest between the already established realistic literature, the proletarian literature, and the new novel of the 20th century. This paper aims to show that 'Machi no Soko' has features that challenge both realistic and proletarian literature, while bringing to the fore its modernist characteristics.論文
