Shosetsu Gendai Newcomer Award
KENZAN!VOL.6
Oba Hanshoki is an early award-winning work by Izumi Fujimoto, already suggesting her later interest in folk and regional materials. It draws on tangled relationships and local atmosphere to explore the forces inside a community.
Work Information
A work that places communal ties and human entanglement within a folk-inflected atmosphere.
Izumi Fujimoto is confirmed as a Shosetsu Gendai Newcomer Award winner for Oba Hanshoki. Kodansha's KENZAN! vol.6 includes the work as a reprinted selection and has an ISBN-bearing print record, so the identifiers use that book rather than a magazine issue.
Review Summaries
-
Later critical notes on Fujimoto's work point to complex plotting and an interest in folk background. Oba Hanshoki can be read as an early expression of that direction.
