Zusammenfassung:The rapid development of Japanese press during the twenty first years of the Meji era led to the appearance of a new type of writings: book reviews and criticism. This article tries to explain the sudden appearance between 1886 and 1889 of an interpretive discourse in Japan. It argues that the rise of criticism is no accident, but rather the consequence and embodiment of other changes, implemented with varying speed and at different moments, but which converged during this period to give rise to the founding texts of Tokutomi Sohō, Takada Hanpō, Ōnishi Hajime and Mori Ōgai.
