Akutagawa Ryūnosuke’s Parents

While reading the introduction to Kappa by Akutagwa I came across these quotes written by Akutagawa about his parents:

“Once when I was in the third year at Middle School I took my father on at wrestling. I sent him sprawling with my favorite throw, the ōsogari. He sprang up nad said, advancing on me, ‘Another go!’ I threw him again, with no trouble at all. He rushed at me a third time, his expression furious: ‘Another go!’ My aunt, who was watching…frowned at me…and when we closed I purposely fell on my back” (Tenkibo, Chikuma Shobō 3, 307-8).

“My mother was a madwoman….She used to sit alone in the house at Shibia, her hair in a bun held by a comb, puffing at a long pipe. She was a small woman, with a small face that was somehow grey and entirely without animation….I remember that on one occasion when I went upstairs with my foster-mother to say hell to her, all of a sudden she hit me on the head with her pipe. But she was usually a very placid lunatic. When my sister or I pestered her to, she would draw pictures of us on sheets of writing paper….But the people she drew all had foxes’ faces (Tenkibo, Chikuma Shobō 3, 305).

Akutagwa’s mother was very superstitious and, just a few months after the death of her daughter, found out she was pregnant with Ryūnosuke but was very worried because she was 33 and her husband 42 which was considered as “”periods of great danger”.  After Ryūnosuke was born the parents formally ‘abandoned’ him and he was ‘taken in’ by a family friend, before being accepted back into the family.  I guess this made him more of a ‘foundling’ than a ‘child’ which counteracted the bad luck surrounding his birth.

The introduction states, “His mother’s madness, and the fear that he might have inherited it, preyed on Ryūnosuke’s mind throughout his life.”

The two longer quotes were originally taken from the eight-volume Akutagawa Ryūnosuke Zenshū published by Chikuma Shobō.

It is great to meet a new friend and then take 📷's of them try out a new skill. In that moment everything comes together and something magical happens.

There is something about meeting new friends and creating memories with them. Breaking through barriers and then learning a whole new skill that you may not have ever learned. Having a badass base such as @acrojames lift up @zenshe in a double stag #hand2hand was one of the epic moments from Wednesday. Thank you for spending time with us at the beach @zenshe and be sure to make your way back to #santamonica ✨😘.PS: my hugs are so warm and cozy. #flashbackfriday #acroyoga #acroyogaeverydamnday #yogi #yogagirl #yogaeverydamnday #h2h #lululemonla #lululemon #yogaofig #badass #beachyoga #partneryoga #yogagirl #calilife #LA #lastory (at Santa Monica Omb / Gibbon Slackline Park)
