This article discusses the literary magazine Asian Poetic Pulse founded by Kenji UCHINO in October 1926. Asian Poetic Pulse aimed to promote friendship and development among Japanese poets living in the Korean Peninsula while also incorporating Japanese and world literature. Through the poetry, criticism, and articles in the magazine, as well as commemorative photographs, it is possible to understand the interaction and exchange between Japanese poets living in Korea, representative Korean modern poets, professors at Keijo Imperial University, and famous Japanese poets within Japan. The article also analyzes Ikuko GOTŌ, Sōji UCHINO, and Hiroshi KŌRIYAMA, who were the main poets of Asian Poetic Pulse Association, the characteristics and contemporary evaluations of each poet’s work, the healthy culture of criticism within the magazine, and why the magazine was eventually banned and discontinued.
