Saburō Kawamoto (born 1944) is a Japanese critic and essayist. Born in Tokyo, he graduated from the University of Tokyo’s Faculty of Law and worked as a newspaper journalist before beginning his career as an independent writer. His criticism ranges across literature, film, manga, urban culture, railways, and travel, with particular attention to Tokyo’s disappearing neighborhoods and the memories of the writers and ordinary people who inhabited them. His Taishō Gen’ei, an exploration of the cultural imagination of Japan’s Taishō era, received the Suntory Prize for Social Sciences and Humanities in 1991. In his representative work Kafū to Tōkyō: “Danchōtei Nichijō” Shichū (Kafū and Tokyo: Notes on Danchōtei Nichijō), Kawamoto uses Nagai Kafū’s diary to connect the writer’s daily walks through alleys and entertainment districts with Tokyo’s transformation through wartime destruction and postwar reconstruction. The book received the Yomiuri Prize for Literature in 1997.
