Today marks the birthday of the novelist, Kyōka Izumi. It's also the birthday of Kyōka Izumi as depicted in literary works, and anime/manga/game adaptations centered around famous authors. Bungo Stray Dogs is probably the most famous, right? She's a cute and courageous girl, and I really love her. Thinking back, I realized that although I've seen the play 'Yakashika,' I've never actually read her novels. A tragedy of humans and the supernatural revolving around a promise with a dragon god
 it was a very difficult play, and there was a lot I couldn't understand on the first viewing. I remember my understanding increasing slightly after watching it a few times. Maybe I should take this opportunity to read it properly once
. Happy birthday, Kyōka Izumi. ※This also includes my love for the character.

Izumi Kyoka's novels are a bit difficult to read because the writing style is old. I'm also more familiar with works that have been adapted into manga or anime. Maybe I'll try reading the complete works from the library sometime~

Happy birthday, Kyokyoko-san, mom Your image is of withered trees, hollows, kimonos, ponds, slugs and snakes, a pioneer of classic & aestheticism, but now that you mention it, I've never actually read it, ^^;;;

Was it Izumi Kyoka's birthday? 🀗✚ Happy birthday! 🎂 I know she's a pioneer of Japanese fantasy literature and was apparently quite a germaphobe, but I might not have actually read her works properly myself 🀔 Kyoka-chan from Bungo Stray Dogs is also a devoted, cute, strong, and charming character! ☺

Happy birthday, Mr. Izumi Kyoka! 🎉 I don't know much about the character version of you, but I did visit a memorial hall when I traveled to Kanazawa a while ago! I learned that the author of "Sangetsuki," which is in textbooks, was a big fan of Mr. Izumi's style. So, I bought a collection of Izumi Kyoka's short stories as a souvenir when I returned home~☺ I've only seen the old movie version of "Yashagaike" briefly, but I'd like to read this too.
