      abstract = {Shibata Renzaburo and the Reinvention of Modernism in  Postwar Japanese Popular Literature explores the life and  work of Shibata Renzaburo (1917-1978), the author of  adventure and historical novels who was instrumental in  reinvigorating popular Japanese literature in the postwar  period. This book considers postwar Japanese society  through the prism of Shibatas writing, exploring how the  postwar period under SCAP Occupation influenced Shibatas  writing and generated the extraordinary popularity of  samurai fiction in the postwar era at large. Through the  use of a nihilistic warrior, Nemuri Kyoshiro, and other  samurai characters, Shibata Renzaburo addresses important  social issues of the day, such as the trauma of defeat,  postwar reconstruction, and the attending societal ills and  neuroses, while keeping his literature entertaining and  easy to read, which ensured its mass appeal in postwar  Japan.},
