Welcome to the literary homepage HORAGAI !

HORAGAI is an online magazine presented by Kato Koiti, a japanese critic, which features Isikawa Jun, Abe Kobo and new Japanese writers including recent Akutagawa Award winners.

There are, in present, only a few english pages in HORAGAI, but we are translating Japanese articles in order. Please wait for a while.

November 11 1995


I founded the new site horagai.com on March 9 1998, which is the 99th anniversary of Isikawa Jun and 74th anniversary of Abe Kobo. HORAGAI got a new start.
