Abstract The first Japanese researcher of Kafka's literature was Hiroshi Okamura. In 1932, he wrote the essay Franz Kafka - the class system of loneliness, in which he argued that the solitude and despair of h...elpless people are expressed in The Metamorphosis. In 1940, Koichi Motono translated Kafka's novel The Trial from German into Japanese. He felt that Kafka described the anxiety and the loneliness of human beings in this novel. Atsushi Nakajima is the first Japanese writer who was influenced by Kafka's literature. During 1934 und 1936 he read the translation of Kafka's The Great Wall of China and Other Pieces. These novels had a huge effect on Nakajima. His story Sangetsu-ki, in which the hero Ri Cho metamorphoses into a tiger, can be compared with Kafka's The Metamorphosis.show more
