100th Memorial Exhibition: Kafka Metamorphosis

The Waseda International House of Literature (The Haruki Murakami Library)
Until Sep 16
Metamorphosis stories have been around since Greek mythology, including works like Ovid's Metamorphoses, Garnett's Lady into Fox, and The Moon Over the Mountain and Other Stories by Atsushi Nakajima. Notably, Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis is highlighted for its compelling depiction of transformation. The exhibition delves into various translations and illustrations of Kafka's character Ungeziefer, examining its visual interpretations. It also explores how modern writers like Haruki Murakami and manga artists have been influenced by Kafka's work, shedding light on Kafka's reception in Japan.
