Adopted child of the nightingale - Uguisu no yōshi

...A haiku magazine. Based on the Matsuyama haiku group Shofu-kai, and led by Masaoka Shiki, it was first published in January 1897. In October of the following year, it moved to Tokyo and was run by Takahama Kyoshi. Along with haiku, Kyoshi also devoted himself to writing. In writing, he held writing meetings at Shiki's bedside called "Yama-kai" and promoted sketch writing. After Shiki's death in 1902, the conflict between Kyoshi and Kawato Hekigoto came to the surface in the magazine, but Hekigoto distanced himself from the magazine, and Kyoshi focused on novels. The impetus for the magazine to follow the direction of a novel magazine came directly from its publication of Natsume Soseki's I Am a Cat (1905), which was well received. Thereafter, it published works by other writers of the same school, such as Ito Sachio's The Wild Chrysanthemum Grave (1906), Suzuki Miekichi's Plover (1906), and Kyoshi's Furyu Senpo (1907), as well as works by Mori Ogai, presenting a different world from the naturalistic literature of the same period.
