Sasazawa Saho (笹沢左保, November 15, 1930 – October 21, 2002) was a Japanese author, known as the creator of the Kogarashi Monjirō novels, which became a hit televised drama series.

He was a self-declared member of the shinhonkaku-ha [ja] or "new orthodox" school of detective fiction writing. Aside from mysteries, he also wrote thrillers, essays and history books, with some 380 books to his credit.

Life and works

Saho Sasazwa was born Masaru Sasazawa (笹沢勝), the third son of poet Yoshiaki Sasazawa [ja].[1] Born in Yokohama according to many sources,[1] but it has also been said he was actually born in Yodobashi, Tokyo and later moved to Yokohama.[2] There he attended what is now Kanto Gakuin University's high school division, but failed to graduate,[3] frequently running away from home during this period.[2]

By 1952 he was in Tokyo, working at the Postal Insurance [ja] Bureau run by the Postal Ministry.[2][4] Around this time he dabbled in writing plays.[5]

In 1958, he was struck by a DUI car, suffering injuries expecting to take 8 months to fully heal.[2][4] But his short stories Yami no naka no dengon (闇の中の伝言, "The message in the dark") and Kunin me no giseisha (九人目の犠牲者, "The ninth victim"), which he had submitted to prize contest before the accident both qualified and were printed in the December 1958 special issue of the Hoseki magazine.[6][4]

In 1960,[a] his Manekarezaru kyaku (招かれざる客, "The uninvited guest") became a runner-up for the 5th Edogawa Rampo Prize,[6][7] and the release of this in book format marked his debut as novelist.[2][5][4]

He adopted the pen name Saho, which was taken from his wife's name Sahoko (佐保子).[2][b]

His Hitokui (人喰い, "Man-eater", 1961) was awarded the 14th Mystery Writers of Japan Award, after which he resigned from the Postal Ministry and became a full-time professional writer.[7][2]

With his Roppongi shinjū (六本木心中, "Roppongi double-suicide") (1962) he received his third nomination for the prestigious semi-annual Naoki Prize for popular fiction.[8] He had been twice nominated for the prize before, for Hitokui and Kūhaku no kiten (空白の起点, "Starting point of blankness"),[9] and although he was short-listed to win this time,[c][10] he was disappointed once again.[11][d] Around this time, while declaring himself to be one of the practitioners of honkaku-ha (本格派) or "orthodox school" of mystery fiction-writing,[e] he wrote a trilogy on double-suicide without homicide;[1] of these, the Naoki Prize-nominated Roppongi Double-Suicide was appraised as a piece "depicting empty love between a young man and a girl", which entwined "the drama of loss of faith in humanity" into the mystery novel.[8]

In 1970, he ventured into writing period novels (in particular matatabi fiction about traveling gamblers) with Mikaeri tōge no rakujitsu (見返り峠の落日, "Sunset at Look-back Pass").[1] Sasazawa's style of this gambler fiction has been characterized as "casting a nihilistic shadow, an added an aura of Cowboy Westerns".[1] The samurai period gambler piece that brought Sasazawa lasting fame was his Kogarashi Monjirō series,[1][4] begun with the episode entitled Shamen bana wa chitta (赦免花は散った, "The Clemency Flower has Scattered", 1970). The book was TV-dramatized with Atsuo Nakamura playing the leading role of the gambler Monjirō, and the program achieved immense popularity.[4][2][12][13]

He continued to write fiction in both contemporary and period settings.

Some of his outputs in modern settings from the subsequent period include the child-kidnapping novel Mayonaka no shijin (真夜中の詩人, "Midnight poet", 1972), called a masterpiece on par with his earlier great works;[14] Haruka nari waga ai o (遥かなりわが愛を, "My love so far", 1976) which launched the Detective Isenami series;[15]Tasatsu misaki (他殺岬, "Cape homicide", 1977) was a time-limit kidnapping story with a twist,[16] the scandal-monger must devise a ransom for the perpetrator who only wants vengeance; Kyūkon no misshitsu (求婚の密室, "The marriage-proposing locked room", 1978) features a well-crafted locked room gimmickry.[17]

He also became well known at one time for Akuma no heya ("Devil's room", 1981) and its sequels in his Akuma ("Devil") series of erotic suspense-thriller novels (kannō sasupensu (官能サスペンス),[18] this being a hybrid genre between the erotic novel and suspense-thriller.

His Aribai no uta (アリバイの唄, "Alibi song", 1990) started the Hideo Yoake casefile series of novels, dramatized on TV as the Taxi Driver's Mystery Diary [ja] starring Tsunehiko Watase;[19] The TV series Torishirabe shitsu [ja] "Interrogation room" ran its first episode in 1994 based on the novel of the same title published 1993.[13]

Period pieces in other than his Monjirō include Sasurai kaidō (さすらい街道, "Wandering highway", 1972) which employs mystery novel techniques in historical settings,[20] the Jigoku no Tatsu crime-solving novels (1972–), televised as Jigoku no Tatsu torimono hikae (地獄の辰捕物控) "Tatsu from hell's Casebook";[21] another TV-dramtized series on Hanmi no Okon [ja] (1974–),[21] whose title character Okon bears a tattoo which forms a complete dragon when combined with her lover's.

During his lifetime he published some 377 books.[2][22][23]

With declining health in 1987, he recuperated at a hospital in the town of Mikatsuki, Saga which bore a name similar to Mikazuki-mura [ja] (Mikazuki Village), the fictitious birthplace of Monjirō. After being discharged, he made the adjacent town of Fujichō his home,[24] and although he had to relocate in 1995 to Hyogomachi [ja] in Saga city for hospital access, the Fujichō residence later became the Sasazawa Saho Memorial Museum.[24]

He established the Kyushu Saga Taishūbungaku Prize [ja] for literature by new authors in 1993, with the final 24th prize awarded in 2017.[24][25]

In 2001 he returned to Kodaira, Tokyo,[24] and succumbed to liver cancer (HCC) on 21 October 2002 at a hospital in Komae, Tokyo.[23]

Legacy and influence

He was a prolific writer, who at his height wrote 1,000 or even 1,500 pages of manuscript per month,[26][27]、he has been called a "constant innovator" [8] or experimenter. In particular, Sasazawa is known for applying the mystery novel techniques of "surprise-twist endings (donden-gaeshi)" and climatic endings in writing matatabi fiction, thus introducing a fresh angle in the fiction about these wandering rogue swordsman-gamblers.[28][29]

He wrote a study in sensual-erotic suspense with the novel Akuma no heya (悪魔の部屋, "Demon's Room")[18] which was adapted into film, and crime novels consisting entirely of conversation, such as Donden gaeshi (どんでん返し, "the flip-reversal"),[30] and Dōgyōsha (同行者, "fellow believer of the path"),[f][33] and Ushiro sugata no seizō (後ろ姿の聖像, "rear-view icon") where the alibi trick undergoes a complete 180-degrees plot-twist.[g][34]

He held a staunch purist stance about detective fiction writing. Sasazawa identified himself as a proponent of the Shin-honkaku-ha (新本格派) "New Orthodox School" or "New Authentic School". Such a writer, he explained, was not only required to be "orthodox" (or "authentic") and devise a clever trick used in the crime, but in addition, needed to maintain realisticness in the human characters employed.[7][2][35][36] When he sat on the selection panel for the Edogawa Rampo Prize, he repeatedly bewailed the laxening of the definition of what could be considered "detective fiction".[37] In 1977, he wrote an essay that polemicized against the novel of manners contaminating the mystery fiction genre.[38][39][9]
