Abstract
In the fall of 1936 after publicly announcing his decision to withdraw from the proletarian literature movement, Hayashi Fusao (1903–75), one of Japan's best-known literati of the day, produced a decidedly ‘proletarian’ short story using literature to chronicle the lost voices of political dissent in early Showa Japan (1926–45). A study of Hayashi's ‘Album’ underscores the continued struggle of many literary men to convey their intellectual concerns in a time of rising militarism. It also challenges the usage of tenkō as a conceptual means of comprehending the intellectual community's support of the government during the 1930s.
