Riichi Yokomitsu

was an experimental, modernist Japanese writer.

Yokomitsu began publishing in dōjinshi such as ''Machi'' ("Street") and ''Tō'' ("Tower") after entering Waseda University in 1916. In 1923, he published ''Nichirin'' ("The Sun"), ''Hae'' ("A Fly") and more in the magazine ''Bungeishunjū'', which made his name popular. The following year he started the magazine ''Bungei-Jidai'' with Yasunari Kawabata and others. Yokomitsu and others involved in ''Bungei-Jidai'' were known collectively as the ''Shinkankakuha'', or the New Sensation School, with a particular interest in sensation and scientific objectivity.
