Subaru (literary magazine)

Subaru (スバル) was a literary magazine published monthly in Japan between January 1909 and December 1913.

[1][2] It mainly focused on the publication of poetry and was known for its advocacy of the trend of romanticism in Japanese literature in the late Meiji period (1868 – 1912).

[1] The magazine was noted for publishing works by Ishikawa, as well as Mokutaro Kinoshita, Kōtarō Takamura, Yoshii Isamu (1886 – 1960), and Hakushū Kitahara (the latter leaving Myōjō in January 1908 was one of the factors contributing to its going out of print[5]).

[6] Anti-Naturalist and Romantic writings were most prominent, and writers known for having their works published in Subaru were known as Subaru-ists (スバル派, Subaru-ha).

Among the works Mori Ōgai published in the magazine were The Wild Geese,[2] Vita Sexualis, and Seinen.
