Characteristics of Modern Japanese Literature   Marked by a strong and intentional break with tradition and the nation- centered and group orientation values. This break includes a strong reaction against established religious, political, and social views. Feminism, individualism, internationalism, liberalism, and proletarianism emerge during this period.   Belief that the world is created in the act of perceiving it ; that is, the world is what we say it is.   There is no such thing as absolute truth. All things are relative.   Connection with history or institutions is conflicted. Their experience is that of alienation, loss, and despair.   Championship of the individual and celebration of inner strength.   Life is unordered & incomplete.   Concerned with the sub- conscious. New literary forms and styles; for example, the I- Novel (1 st person point of view) autobiographical confessional type of narration emerges in 1906.
