	Natsume Soseki
		Soseki is generally judged to be the greatest novelist of the Meiji Period, when the influence from the West was arriving in Japan in almost overwhelming waves, and--in part because he was not long lived--his dates (above) are very close to the dates the Meiji emperor ruled.
		While teaching a Saturday-morning seminar on Soseki my last semester at Washburn, I showed a video on the Meiji period in which Soseki was presented as epitomizing its strong appetite for, and ultimate frustration with, those influences from the West.
		It is the most autobiographical of Soseki's novels, a study of a university teacher who is disillusioned with his life, and has problems with the wife and family he has been alienated from by his very commitment to his study.

		Soseki's books generally are either serious ('Kokoro') or satiric ('Botchan,' 'I Am A Cat'), 'Sanshiro' is both and it is the better for it.
		For instance, when one of Sanshiro's heroes is disgraced by a well-meaning plan that goes awry, Soseki blunts the pain by riffng on the inscrutability of the 'philosophical smoke' streaming through his victim-hero's nostrils as he puffs on his pipe.
		Soseki's first attempt at a serious (as opposed to Botchan), full-length novel is a wonderful story of a country boy, Sanshiro, in his first year at Tokyo University studying literature.

		Ultimately, there is considerable irony in Soseki's attraction to one of the preeminent authors of the socalled "age of sensibility,"2 an irony that further complicates any claims of "influence"-for the "age of sensibility" may itself have been indebted to Japan and China for its innovations in moral aesthetics.
		In turning repeatedly to Sterne and the late-eighteenth century, Soseki was thus turning to a period of Western literature that was itself looking toward the East.
