Everything about My J totally explained
was the title of a monthly
literary magazine first published in
Japan between February
1900 and November
1908.
The name
Myōjō can be translates as either
Bright Star or
Morning Star. It was the organ of a poetry circle called
Shinshisha (New Poetry Society) which had been founded by
Yosano Tekkan in 1899. Myōjō was initially known for its development and promotion of a modernized version of the 31-syllable
tanka poetry. Famous contributors such as
Yosano Akiko transformed the traditional poetry with a sensual style in the
romantic movement.
Other important contributors included
Hagiwara Sakutaro,
Ishikawa Takuboku,
Iwano Homei,
Kitahara Hakushu,
Noguchi Yonejiro,
Kinoshita Rigen, and
Sato Haruo. The magazine was advised by
Mori Ōgai,
Ueda Bin and
Baba Kocho, with Yosano Tekkan remaining as editor-in-chief of the publication.
Myōjō gradually transformed itself from purely
tanka poetry, to a sophisticated journal promoting the visual arts and western style poetry as well. It is regarded as having a crucial influence on the development of Japanese poetry and literature in the early 20th century.
Myōjō was short lived, as internal dissention dissolved the
Shinshisha literary circle. Many of its original members helped create a successor literary journal,
Subaru (The Pleiades).
Myōjō was revived from 1921-1927 by Tekkan, and again from 1947-1949.
