    In the early Meiji era, Enlightenment literature was authored by Fukuzawa Yukichi and Nakae Chomin, while pre-modern popular books depicted the quickly changing country. Realism was brought in during the mid-Meiji era by authors like Tsubouchi Shoyo and Futabatei Shimei, while Classical literature gained popularity under writers such as Ozaki Koyo, Yamada Bimyo, and Koda Rohan. Higuchi Ichiyo, a rare female writer of this time, wrote short stories in a simple style between literary and colloquial about powerless women of the age.
