Chikuma Bunko / From the end of the Meiji period to the beginning of the Showa period, "Kaidan" (Ghost Stories) became a hot boom. During the turbulent times, it was Kyoka IZUMI, Kunio YANAGIDA, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Rokuro KITAMURA, Kiyokata Kaburaki, and other top cultural figures who immersed themselves in the Hyaku Monogatari Kaidan Kai (Live Kaidan) where they talked about mysterious stories. The activities of Kyoka from the period of Koyo's disciple to his later years are used as a key to explain the culture and social situation of the time, and it also contains many real ghost stories by great writers. Unprecedented Kaidan Criticism and Anthology!
