BONUS 12 Akutagawa's Hell Screen Incandescent Reading To Study/Paint To
About this episode
This episode features a reading of Ryūnosuke Akutagawa's 'Hell Screen', exploring themes of art and psychological depth in Japanese literature.
Ryūnosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927), from the age of 22 to his death at 35, wrote over 150 short stories. He is today widely considered the "father of the Japanese short story," and many of his works focus on historical and mythological tales presented through a modern psychological lens. His stories enjoy popularity even now, over a century after they were written, as some of the greatest works of Japanese literature: stories like Rashōmon , The Spider's Thread, In A Bamboo Grove , and Hell Screen. Soul Mates! is proud to present a reading of Hell Screen , one of Akutagawa's early masterpieces. Based on a tale from the Uji Shūi Monogatari, Hell Screen follows a painter tasked to create a painting of the Buddhist hells, who finds himself unable to paint the perfect image until he sees the flames for himself.
