Excerpt: Rynosuke Akutagawa Akutagawa Rynosuke); (March 1, 1892 July 24, 1927) was a Japanese writer active in Taish period Japan. He is regarded as the "Father of the Japanese short story". He committed suicide at age of 35 through an overdose of barbital. Rynosuke Akutagawa was born in the Kybashi district of Tokyo, the third child and only son of father Toshiz Niihara and mother Fuku Niihara (née Akutagawa). He was named "Rynosuke" ("Son Dragon") because he was allegedly born in the Year of the Dragon, in the Month of the Dragon, on the Day of the Dragon, and at the Hour of the Dragon.
