About the author
Ry¨±nosuke Akutagawa
1,299?books1,980?followersAkutagawa Ry¨±nosuke (½æ´¨ ýˆÖ®½é) was one of the first prewar Japanese writers to achieve a wide foreign readership, partly because of his technical virtuosity, partly because his work seemed to represent imaginative fiction as opposed to the mundane accounts of the I-novelists of the time, partly because of his brilliant joining of traditional material to a modern sensibility, and partly because of film director Kurosawa Akira's masterful adaptation of two of his short stories for the screen.
Akutagawa was born in the Ky¨bashi district Tokyo as the eldest son of a dairy operator named Shinbara Toshiz¨ and his wife Fuku. He was named "Ry¨±nosuke" ("Dragon Offshoot") because he was born in the Year of the Dragon, in the Month of the Dragon, on the Day of the Dragon, and at the Hour of the Dragon (8 a.m.). Seven months after Akutagawa's birth, his mother went insane and he was adopted by her older brother, taking the Akutagawa family name. Despite the shadow this experience cast over Akutagawa's life, he benefited from the traditional literary atmosphere of his uncle's home, located in what had been the "downtown" section of Edo.
At school Akutagawa was an outstanding student, excelling in the Chinese classics. He entered the First High School in 1910, striking up relationships with such classmates as Kikuchi Kan, Kume Masao, Yamamoto Y¨±z¨, and Tsuchiya Bunmei. Immersing himself in Western literature, he increasingly came to look for meaning in art rather than in life. In 1913, he entered Tokyo Imperial University, majoring in English literature. The next year, Akutagawa and his former high school friends revived the journal Shinshich¨ (New Currents of Thought), publishing translations of William Butler Yeats and Anatole France along with original works of their own. Akutagawa published the story Rash¨mon in the magazine Teikoku bungaku (Imperial Literature) in 1915. The story, which went largely unnoticed, grew out of the egoism Akutagawa confronted after experiencing disappointment in love. The same year, Akutagawa started going to the meetings held every Thursday at the house of Natsume S¨seki, and thereafter considered himself S¨seki's disciple.
The lapsed Shinshich¨ was revived yet again in 1916, and S¨seki lavished praise on Akutagawa's story Hana (The Nose) when it appeared in the first issue of that magazine. After graduating from Tokyo University, Akutagawa earned a reputation as a highly skilled stylist whose stories reinterpreted classical works and historical incidents from a distinctly modern standpoint. His overriding themes became the ugliness of human egoism and the value of art, themes that received expression in a number of brilliant, tightly organized short stories conventionally categorized as Edo-mono (stories set in the Edo period), ¨ch¨-mono (stories set in the Heian period), Kirishitan-mono (stories dealing with premodern Christians in Japan), and kaika-mono (stories of the early Meiji period). The Edo-mono include Gesaku zanmai (A Life Devoted to Gesaku, 1917) and Kareno-sh¨ (Gleanings from a Withered Field, 1918); the ¨ch¨-mono are perhaps best represented by Jigoku hen (Hell Screen, 1918); the Kirishitan-mono include Hok¨nin no shi (The Death of a Christian, 1918), and kaika-mono include But¨kai(The Ball, 1920).
Akutagawa married Tsukamoto Fumiko in 1918 and the following year left his post as English instructor at the naval academy in Yokosuka, becoming an employee of the Mainichi Shinbun. This period was a productive one, as has already been noted, and the success of stories like Mikan (Mandarin Oranges, 1919) and Aki (Autumn, 1920) prompted him to turn his attention increasingly to modern materials. This, along with the introspection occasioned by growing health and nervous problems, resulted in a series of autobiographically-based stories known as Yasukichi-mono, after the name of the main character. Works such as Daid¨ji Shinsuke no hansei(The Early Life of

±Ç = Hana = The Nose, Ry¨±nosuke Akutagawa
The Nose is a satirical short story by Akutagawa Ry¨±nosuke based on a thirteenth-century Japanese tale from the Uji Sh¨±i Monogatari. The Nose was Akutagawa's second short story, written not long after Rash¨mon. It was first published in January 1916 in the Tokyo.
The story is mainly a commentary on vanity and religion, in a style and theme typical to Akutagawa's work. Zenchi Naigu, a Heian period (the last division of classical Japanese history, running from 794 to 1185.) Buddhist priest, is more concerned with diminishing his overly long, dangling nose than he is with studying and teaching the s¨±tras (in Indian literary traditions refers to an aphorism or a collection of aphorisms in the form of a manual or, more broadly, a condensed manual or text.).
He pretends to ignore his nose in fear it will be mentioned, and studies religious texts in a desperate attempt to find a person with a nose like his. When in private, he constantly checks his nose in a mirror, hoping for even the smallest amount of shrinkage.
One autumn, a disciple reveals he has learned a new technique to shrink noses from a friend, a Chinese doctor who has become a high-ranking priest at the Ch¨rakuji temple in Kyoto. At first, Naigu feigns disinterest, to appeal to the misconception that he is unconcerned with his nose, but eventually ¡°gives in¡± to his disciple's insisting.
The disciple first boils the nose, then stomps on it, finally removing the beads of fat the treatment extracts from the nose. To Naigu's satisfaction, the nose, once dangling past his chin, is now the size of a typical hooked nose.
Naigu, excited but nervous, sets about his weekly routines. He is surprised, however, to find the people he encounters laughing at him far more openly than they had before. Naigu becomes bitter and harsh, to the point where one disciple proclaims: ¡°Naigu will be punished for treating us so harshly instead of teaching us Buddha¡¯s Law¡±.
People continue to laugh at Naigu for his vanity, until one day, Naigu wakes up, and to his relief and rejoicing, his nose has returned to its original length.

Kind of a like a mirror-opposite to Gogol's story - a man has too big a nose (about six inches hanging in front of his mouth) and is trying hard to get rid of it. Only to find people disliking him even more once he did that.
"The human heart harbors two conflicting sentiments. Everyone, of course, sympathizes with people who suffer misfortunes. Yet when those people manage to overcome their misfortunes, we feel a certain disappointment. We may even feel (to overstate the case somewhat) a desire to plunge them back into those misfortunes. And before we know it, we come (if only passively) to harbor some degree of hostility toward them."

This was my favourite short story from the collection, but Gogol's predates it by 80 strong years.
That being said, Akutagawa's inspiration comes from , a collection of Japanese setsuwa tales from the 13th century.
Extra points to Akutagawa for writing it as a resource text in learning Japanese.

Short , satirical, yet so full of symbolism . In such a comical concept , Akutagawa manages to incorporate so skillfully themes of vanity , envy , human behavior, obsession, acceptance. And he does with so many of his stories. He puts those things plain in sight yet carefully woven in his characters and stories which are all delivered with witty satire .
This short story is so impactful, and still relevant , maybe more so than ever .
The Nose, essentially, could be any feature, any status that we become obsessed and utterly controlled by and/or we all in some level or another judge others by. Vanity, education, finances. We seek to find someone to relate to so we can feel normal, equal, on the same level with, even in misery. If the feature in us is perceived as negative, we try to hide it, but we become obsessed with others perception that we lose sight of our life and we live only according to this obsession.
The problem isn't the Nose, but the judgement, mistreatment and tear at the Acolyte's dignity as a result of it. Making him seek in someone else this same feature to ease the pain at his ego, at first, failing to accept his uniqueness , being afraid and tired of others judging him purely on this one feature .
Which brings another point that Akutagawa so delicately places in such a comically set story . In the Buddhist belief of life being suffering and one ought to release themselves from obsessions , we see the Acolyte becoming so obsessed with his Nose. Which by proxy means the opinions of others . And as a result he starts to mess up his Sutras or become distracted, losing sight of what feels important to him deep within.
With the first opportunity to change others' perception of him, he does so, gaining momentary ecstasy , but soon he sees how easily people can turn their inner thoughts outside openly and laugh at his pain , how easily people can turn on him once his misfortune no longer bears down on his shoulders (or in this case face) the criticism of society claiming compassion for someone's pain but enjoying seeing others lower than you . And if you manage to overcome your "feature ", which is seen as obstacle, then society will scrutinize you still , for one reason or another.
let go of the obsession towards others perception of you, live your life truthfully to yourself , don't try to live to please others' standards.
AND ALL OF THAT WHILE HOLDING MYSELF FROM WRITING AND ANALYSING MORE.
Ryunosuke is amazing .

This a weird one.
As always, there is a lesson to be learn. How appearance can affect people to the extent of their consciousness of certain body part could lead to their own demise. A priest named Naigu was born with six inches nose that passed his chin, its a feature that caused him difficulty in eating and daily tasks. His long nose was known throughout the town. There is a theme of appearance and religion plays here as someone who works as a priest whom should memorize religious texts and study them, he was more conscious of his nose more than others as he kept on thinking on how to shorten it and also trying to find people with the same nose as his. You could say he was obsessed at this point.

This short story represents the desire to have someone to relate to in order to feel normal. Often by nature humans enjoy others suffering since it means they are not the only ones. Especially when someone has greater misery than you. Our lives are so controlled by the judgement of others. The priest in the story only did things based on other peoples opinions (wanted his nose to be smaller because nobody had a nose as big as his. Once his nose became smaller, he was first happy until people started to judge him, then he wanted his old nose back). It is impossible to please everyone so live your life how you want to, without the fear of judgement from others.

The story has a good message of acceptance of one-self. I think this message is really important to people nowadays because a lot of people, especially teenagers, cannot accept who they are and what the look like, so they try very hard to change their appearance to someone who they aren¡¯t. After they have changed their appearance so much, they will come to realize that their original appearance is so much better, and being who they originally are is so much more comfortable. We should all accept who we are and this book brings a good message to everyone.
