Subaru (literary magazine)

In 1909, after Myōjō ceased publication, Mori Ōgai^[2] and a few other prominent Myōjō writers including Tekkan Yosano^[2] and Akiko Yosano came together to publish a new magazine that would become Subaru.^[4] Ishikawa Takuboku initially served as editor.^[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.^[1] Yoshii first published Sake hogai and Gogo san-ji in the magazine.^[6] The complete run of Subaru was reprinted in facsimile in 1965 by the publishing house Rinsen Shoten.^[4][7]
