This book examines literary representations of war, flood and earthquakes in twentieth and twenty-first century Japan using trauma as a focus. The book focuses mainly on poetry but also analyzing various prose works. This topic has been explored previously by scholars of European literature but rarely in studies of modern Japanese literature.

This book analyzes the literature that emerged from World War II. It also examines the literature that resulted from the two major earthquakes that have struck Japan over the course of over the last hundred years. The small number of volumes previously published examining the literature of war and earthquakes in Japan have almost always focused exclusively on fiction while this volume focuses mainly on poetry. This volume breaks new ground in its attempt to draw together and analyze the literature produced by these tragedies as a single phenomenon. It provides a new template for the literature of trauma produced by such events as the earthquake that accompanied the tsunami and nuclear meltdown in northeast Japan in 2011.
