		Kitakata's "Ashes" (made into a film in 1994 by Tatsumi Kumashiro shortly before his death under the title "Bo no kanashimi"), as technically minimalist as Dusseldorf techno, is a stone-cold yakuza classic about the rise of a gangster named Tanaka from junior to Uncle to, perhaps, Oyabun or Boss.
		Kitakata, superb stylist that he is and very much in control of his material, puts his utterly uninvolved narrator to the test toward the end of the novel.
		Kitakata manages his nihilistic climax with consummate control, and although, as in "Ashes," the prose may be flat and lifeless (perhaps the minimalism, or the reliance on the scene rather than the sentence, more easily affords an effective translation), it's absolutely compelling to read.

	Reviews Ashes
		Kitakata is one of Japan’s most prolific hard-boiled novelists with over a hundred books in print.
		Kitakata’s anti-hero is more than the usual clichés of underworld denizens with punch perms, sharp suits, and gold jewelry.
		Kitakata does not descend into pap sentimentality to tell his story: the protagonist is no stereotypical “crook with a heart of gold”.

	Kenzo Kitakata Ashes Reviewed by Terry D'Auray
		Kenzo Kitakata is one of the top-rated active hardboiled writers in Japan.
		Now writing in the first person, Kitakata takes up the narrative from Tanaka's viewpoint and fleshes out both the characters and the story of a yakuza mob in transition with the approaching death of the Clan Boss.
		Kitakata's writing is so spare and lean it makes Hammett seem chatty.

		KITAKATA has always been an important commercial centre, producing sake, miso paste, rice and charcoal.
		It's best to concentrate on the central district where you can visit a sake brewery and take in several kura on route, but there's no need to devote more than a couple of hours to Kitakata, since the storehouses are now swamped by an otherwise uninteresting sprawling town.
		Traditionally, breweries hang a green cedar ball outside in March, when the freshly brewed sake is put in vats to age; by September the browned fronds indicate that it's ready to drink.

		Kitakata adds a final would-be artist into the equation, an escaped felon who finds Nakagi's studio.
		Kitakata is a guy who has authored over a hundred novels in Japan, and a perfect example of Vertical-Inc's plan to conquer American publishing by simply bringing out translated versions of popular Japanese authors who haven’t seen publication in America.
		While Kitakata does not yet have the movie-based appeal of Koji Suzuki, his tales of gangsters and artists take the elements of American crime fiction and substitute culturally adventurous choices for readers who like to have their worlds upended.

	hackwriters.com - Ashes by Kenzo Kitakata - review by Charlie Dickenson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		ASHES by Kenzo Kitakata takes us into the world of yakuza Tanaka-san, a forty-ish mobster, who is either in a mid-life crisis or about to realize his life's ambitions.
		Author Kitakata, known primarily as a mystery novelist (he's a past president of the Japan Mystery Writers Association) has stepped outside genre fiction to write this absorbing character study, part Spillane, part Dostoevsky, but always hard-boiled.
		A big risk Kitakata takes in this novel is dividing the book into two parts: "The Man Within" and "Within the Man," and telling the story in two voices.

	Winter Sleep - Kitakata Kenzo
		It's quite ably done, but painting is difficult to convey in writing, and with the weight of so much of it here it's not entirely convincing.
		Constant repetition of descriptions of fire (the burning logs in the fireplace) or Nakagi sharpening his knife, or the variations on his jogging, are more evocative and effective, though ultimately the pay-off doesn't seem quite enough for the mood Kitakata has tried to build up.
		Japanese author Kitakata Kenzo has written an enormous number of novels.

	Ashes - Kitakata Kenzo
		The to-do surrounding the Boss after his death is of particular interest and amusement.
		Kitakata has the hard-boiled tone down pat, and his Tanaka is one of those strong, silent, loner types wielding great power (but with a core of vulnerability) familiar from everything from Western films to 1930s detective fiction.
		He's a decent hero-figure, balanced between being too old for this sort of thing and yet knowing he can't ever escape this lifestyle.
