1927rif. 893191927. AVANT-GARDE UMEHARA Hokumei et al. BUNGEI SHIJO Vol.3 #6. Wrappers 21.7 x 15 cm. Tokyo Showa 2 1927 First published in November of 1925 this issue of June 1927 unleashed its mordant humor on the literary world of Japan. The cover is a study all on its own with the cockamamie orthography and inside jokes of the avant-garde. The contents in this case celebrate the 250 year anniversary of Yaoya Oshichi a girl of 16 burned at the stake in the 17th century whose tragic story was picked up by Saikaku at the time and became an important joruri and kabuki theme thereafter. Besides that emphasis the notes run the gamut from literary gossip to the latest on Russian and European art and literary movements and theorists. At first solidly left wing and imersed in the avant-garde the magazine lasted for 19 issues into later in 1927 when Umehara took his interests into even more scandalous avenues and began publishing GROTESQUE magazine the heart of the ero-guro movement. This copy of the BUNGEI SHIJO is very good overall. unknown

An excellent complete set of the very scarce avant garde periodical 'Kuranty'.The short-lived literary and artistic periodical 'Kuranty' produced in Tbilisi during the Russian Civil War features contributions from many of the most important Russian and Georgian avant garde figures of the time: Alexei Kruchenykh and Igor Terent'ev contributed a large body of material but the contributions of Kyril Zdanevich the editor Boris Korneev Nikolai Sudeikin Tatiana Vechorka Rafalovich and others cannot be overlooked. Natalia Goncharova's 'Portrait of A. Kruchenykh' is reproduced in the final issue together with portraits by Kruchenykh himself.This Tbilisi-produced 'Kuranty' is not to be confused with the review 'Kuranty' published in Kiev in the same year and also of considerable rarity.'Kuranty' is extremely scarce and we can locate no complete sets in libraries although a facsimile is held and Johns Hopkins holds a copy of issue 1; auction records feature one complete copy only that sold at Christie's in 2014 as well asone other incomplete set also Christie's in 2007.
