..in 1903, Takiji Kobayashi was born. Frequently referred to as the originator of Japan's 'Proletarian Writing Movement', Kobayashi's works, which include the famous Kani-kosen or 'The Cannery Boat', coupled with his involvement in communism, resulted in him having to go into hiding from the police. Betrayed by a spy, he was finally caught and subjected to a brutal interrogation which resulted in his death, aged just twenty-nine, in 1933.
