New Taiwanese Literature

New Taiwanese Literature, also referred to as Taiwanese New Literature or by the Japanese name Taiwan Shinbungaku, was a literary magazine published briefly during the period of Japanese rule over Taiwan.

The editor-in-chief, Yō Ki, had previously been on the board of another journal, Taiwan Bungei, but left after a dispute regarding editorial policy and established New Taiwanese Literature.

Yō supported the magazine with his own funds, soliciting contributions from not only local writers, but Japanese writers of the proletarian literature movement such as Hayama Yoshiki, Ishikawa Tatsuzō, and Hirabayashi Taiko as well as Korean writer Chō Kakuchū (張 赫宙).

Its closure represented the start of a period of stasis in the development of Taiwanese literature which would last until Yō Unhei established the Shijin Kyōkai (詩人協会) in 1939.
