AB - Kitamura Kenjirō (北村謙次郎) was one of the representative writers in Manchukuo (滿洲國). He founded the literary journal Manshū Rōman (満洲浪曼), born in Tokyo, and spent his childhood in Dalian (大連). He returned to Tokyo to matriculate at university, and enjoyed modern culture in Tokyo for 10 years. Kitamura started his literary career from 1931. He contributed short stories and essays in several journals while socializing with other writers such as Kiyama Shohei (木山捷平) and Dazai Osamu (太宰治). After emigrating to the capital of Manchukuo Xinjing (新京) in 1937, he published Manshū Rōman from October 1938 to November 1940 while writing his own creative work. The early works, prior going to Manchuria, have the following characteristics of romantic literature in common: ① a yearning for the exotic, ② unreality based on the abundant imagination, ③ the consciousness as a stranger, ④ and décadence. But works of Manchukuo period changed to include the following characteristics: Ⓐ reality based on actual and practical information, Ⓑ and critical but futuristic directivity. It seems to have strayed from Romanticism as form. If we dare to call as “Romanticism” of Kitamura’s works of Manchukuo period, that is the “Continental Romance” and “Manshu Roman” what Yasuda Yojyuro(保田與重郎) said as the future of Japanese Empire.
