This is an automatically translated description

The textbook contains theoretical and practical material on the history of Japanese literature of the twentieth century and is designed to form a holistic view of the literary process of this period, as well as to introduce the life and creative path of the most significant masters of the artistic word of that time and their works. The publication contains a number of Ukrainian translations of original poems and prose works by Japanese authors, which, according to the authors of the textbook, contributes to the visual assimilation of the theoretical material. The three chapters sequentially reveal the main milestones and processes of the country's literary life during three historical periods: Meiji (1868-1912), Taisho (1912-1926), and Shōwa (1926-1989).

The publication is intended for philology students of higher educational institutions of Ukraine who specialise in the study of Japanese language and literature.
