About
Mori Ōgai (1862 – 1922)
Nearly unknown in Germany, Ōgai’s reputation as Poet laureate, scientist and philosopher is rarely known or taught in schools. However, his Germany Diaries (1884–1888), novels and scientific publications, define the common perception of Germany in Japan. His biography and variety of creative endeavours make him a symbol of Japanese-German cultural exchange.
