Timeline

Sakunosuke Oda (織田 作之助) was a Japanese writer.

He is often grouped with Osamu Dazai and Ango Sakaguchi as the Buraiha. Literally meaning ruffian or hoodlum faction, this label was not a matter of a stylistic school but one bestowed upon them by conservative critics disparaging the authors' attitudes and subject matter.

Oda's writing career spans both prewar and postwar Japan.

A native of Osaka, he wrote about most of life in that city and the customs and manners of the common people there.

1910

Jiyūken opened as a coffee and snack shop in 1910, and has become known for its style of "curry rice".

It is mentioned in Oda's writings.

The inscription says that Oda has died, but has left us some of the good flavors of curry rice in his writing.

The photograph shows Oda writing while seated at a table in Jiyūken.

1939

In 1939, his story Zokushu (俗臭, Vulgarity) was a candidate for the Akutagawa Prize.

The following year, Oda published Meoto Zenzai (夫婦善哉).

Named after an Osaka sweet shop, it follows the life of a couple whose relationship survives despite the persistent wastefulness, debauchery, and unkept promises of the erring man.

1943

Meoto zenzai, Roppakukinsei, and Sesō, along with another story, Ki no Miyako (木の都, "City of Trees", 1943–44), have been translated by Burton Watson and published together as Stories of Osaka Life (Columbia University Press, 1990; paperback, Weatherhill, 1994).

1944

Oda also wrote radio drama scenarios and submitted a script to a magazine that was later made into the film Kaette kita otoko (還って来た男, The Returnee, 1944), by Kawashima Yūzō (it was the director's commercial debut).

1946

Oda's characters usually did not fit into what was traditionally considered appropriate forms, either in their frank humanness or in their stubborn individuality, as in Roppakukinsei (六白金星, Six Platinum Stars/Six White Venus, 1946), or out of the cruel necessity of survival.

In the story Sesō (世相, The State of the Times, 1946), Oda describes the first months of the occupation period following Japan's surrender at the end of World War II, which were marked by food shortages so severe that government rations were not enough even to sustain life and people turned to the black market to procure the food they needed for their survival.

During Oda's lifetime, several of his works were banned.

In addition to his fiction, Oda wrote many critical essays, most notably "Kanōsei no bungaku" (可能性の文学, "The Literature of Possibility", 1946).

1947

In 1947, after suffering from a lung hemorrhage, Oda died in Tokyo Hospital.

After the funeral, his friend and fellow writer Osamu Dazai published an emotional eulogy blaming the critics for Oda's sudden death.

More likely, it was from a recurrent bout of tuberculosis.

Oda is buried in Osaka.

1963

In 1963, a monument was erected by Oda's friends and colleagues near Hozenji Temple in Osaka.

Hozenji Yokochō and its surrounding alleys are one of the main settings in Meoto Zenzai.

1983

In 1983, under the sponsorship of the Osaka Bungaku Shinkōkai, a literary prize was established in Oda's name to commemorate the 70th anniversary of his birth and to carry on the long tradition of Kansai literature.

It is awarded annually to an outstanding work of fiction by a new author.

An autographed photograph of Oda hangs in the Osaka restaurant Jiyūken (自由軒).

2008

Several of Oda's stories have been made into movies, including Deep Autumn (秋深き) (2008) and, most notably, Meoto zenzai, which has been adapted four times, including an award-winning film, released in 1955, which was directed by Toyoda Shirō, and starred Morishige Hisaya and Awashima Chikage.
