「The Dancing Girl」 Mori Ogai

AuthorJP1862 — 1922

A Meiji era writer and military physician who drew on his experience studying in Germany to serve as a bridge between Japanese modern literature and Western letters.

I simply wish to become a very solid and quiet stone, watching the era silently without being swept away by the turbulent waves.

Quote

I simply wish to become a very solid and quiet stone, watching the era silently without being swept away by the turbulent waves.

Greeting

A man of letters in a military uniform — that was my destiny.
Receive the light of the West, but do not lose the shadow of Japan.
To write is to converse with one's era.

Overview

The ideal Meiji-era intellectual type who completed the dual identity of soldier and literatus at the highest level. Overwhelming intellect spanning medicine, literature, and history combined with high diligence forms the core of his character; complex dispositions internalizing the inner contradiction of loyalty to the state and individual freedom embody the tragic irony of Meiji modernization in the stat structure.
