In this essay, making use of concepts from the scholarship on rural modernism and Mark Fisher’s aesthetic reflection on the “weird” and the “eerie”, I analyze some texts in Japanese literature from the first three decades of the twentieth century. In the works of Yamamura Bochō, Hagiwara Sakutarō, and Miyoshi Tatsuji we find traces of a representation of the countryside as a site with its own specific form of modernity; the treatment of rural settings in non-realist modes; humus as the source of a weird externality; and the rural landscape as a powerfully eerie place.
