Acerca del autor

Ryunosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927) was one of Japan's leading literary figures in the Taisho period. Regarded as the father of the Japanese short story, he produced over one hundred and fifty in his short lifetime, including 'Rashomon', which inspired Kurosawa's classic film. Haunted by the fear that he would inherit his mother's madness, Akutagawa suffered from worsening mental health problems towards the end of his life and committed suicide aged thirty-five by taking an overdose of barbiturates in the same year that Kappa was published. Geoffrey Bownas (1923-2011) founded the Department of Japanese Studies at Oxford in 1954 and went on to be the first professor of Japanese Studies at Sheffield University in 1965. He worked with Yukio Mishima to create the anthology New Writing in Japan (1972) and in 1974 co-authored Business in Japan: A Guide to Japanese Business Practice and Procedure. In 1999 Bownas was awarded the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure and in 2003 he was made CBE for his contributions to the improvement of Anglo-Japanese relations.
