Toson did not, however, succeed in overcoming her reluctance until November 1928, when the two were married at last.
As with most of Toson's works the plot closely parallels real-life occurrences but, as is also usually true with Toson, those actual happenings have undergone considerable adjustment in the nonessentials.
Toson's later friendship with Watsuji Tetsuro (1889-1960), the distinguished Kyoto University Professor of Philosophy, grew out of this friendship with Nobuko, a friend of Watsuji's wife, Teruko.

Shimazaki's life-like portrayal of a young man's struggle with prejudice and his own hypocrisy in Hakai create a delicate tension.
"In 1906, Toson Shimazaki published the most significant novel of shinzenshugi (naturalism) literature, Hakai, about a young outcast who rebels against conventions which banish him from society." My only concern about Janeira's critique is that he credits Christians with giving Shimazaki and other Japanese Meiji era authors their insight to write against the social system.
"Toson Shimazaki's Hakai is the first important novel inspired by deep humanist intention." I can't say whether it is the first, but it is deeply humanistic and inspiring because it holds such a valuable message that still has application today.

This novel is at its best when it focuses on the daily lives of the main characters and how the sweep of historical events affects them, and it drags when explaining the relationships among all the forces of history, philosophy, and diplomacy that drove the events.
Shimazaki Toson does manage to create a complete world that absorbs me some of the time, but I haven't been sucked in enough to pull an allnighter because I couldn't put the book down.
That said, I do want to finish it to find out whether Hanzo (the main character) ever gets to join his fellow National Scholars working for the emperor or whether he lives out his life frustrated by family obligations in the mountains.

 The Dawn That Never Comes; Shimazaki Toson and Japanese Nationalism; Michael Bourdaghs
In reading major literary works by Shimazaki Toson, a Japanese novelist of the early twentieth century, Michael Bourdaghs probes into the problem concerning the social and historical contextuality of the literary text and brilliantly describes the working of the national imaginary in the construction of the sense of national communality in modern society.
Analyzing Toson’s major works, Michael K. Bourdaghs demonstrates that the construction of national imagination requires a complex interweaving of varied—and sometimes contradictory—figures for imagining the national community.
This study explores the multiple images of illness appearing in Toson’s fiction to demonstrate that hygiene employs more than one model of pathology, and it reveals how this multiplicity functioned to produce the combinations of exclusion and assimilation required to sustain a sense of national community.

The re-creation of childhood in these reminiscences invites readers into a liminal space beyond lived experience where childhood becomes the idyllic "furusato" of the poetic spirit and by extension the native soil of a distant and long-lost imaginary nation.
This paper will examine the childhood reminiscences of Shimazaki Tôson, one of the dominant figures in modern Japanese literature.
Although better known as a pioneering poet and writer of fiction, Tôson produced an extraordinary range of autobiographical narratives over a forty-five year period and was instrumental in establishing the personal voice as a mainstay of Japanese literary narrative.
