A story themed around health and living. - Author: Kazuo Asano - Title: The Tale of Princess Kozakura - Publisher: Tokyo Bungeisha In 1896 (Meiji 29), he entered Tokyo Imperial University. Around the same time, Lafcadio Hearn (Koizumi Yakumo) arrived as a teacher of English literature and became his instructor. While in school, he published his first work, "Blizzard," in the journal "Imperial Literature." Under the pen name Asano Fūkyo, he subsequently published short stories and other works, demonstrating his literary talent. Furthermore, while enrolled in the English Literature department, he also expanded into translating English and American literature, publishing Irving's "The Sketch Book," Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," and Edwards' "The Strange and Mysterious." This background laid the foundation for his research into spiritualism. In 1928 (Showa 3), he attended the Third International Spiritualist Congress (World Spiritualist Conference) held in London and gave a lecture in English at the Grotrian Hall on the topic of "Spiritualism in Modern Japan." He also visited mediums and séances in London, and visited Paris, Boston, and other places, bringing back numerous spiritualism-related documents. Based on these achievements, he engaged in enlightenment activities on spiritualism in Japan, leading to the establishment of the "Chukyo Spiritual Association" in Nagoya in May 1929 (Showa 4), the "Osaka Spiritual Science Association" in Osaka in July of the same year, and the "Tokyo Spiritual Science Association" in Tokyo in December, with practical research organizations being established in various locations. The "Tokyo Spiritual Science Association" held a New Year's general meeting to commemorate its establishment on January 15, 1930 (Showa 5), and began its activities by opening a new office on January 17. The year after his wife Takeko's son Saburo's illness was cured, she began to display spiritual abilities, and in 1929 (Showa 4), she began to perform spirit communication (trance talk) after the death of her second son, Shinki, and published "Shinki's Correspondence" and "The Tale of Princess Kozakura" (both containing content such as records of the spirit world).
