Abstract
This essay examines the critical reception given to "Koganemaru," a children's story that launched the career of Iwaya Sazanami, the father of Japanese children's literature. Written in 1891, it became an instant best seller among boys, but adults questioned its suitability for children in the new Meiji era.
