Takayama Chogyū(高山樗牛Takayama Chogyū, 28 February 1871 – 24 December 1902), real name Takayama Rinjiro, was a Japanese author and literary critic. He profoundly influenced Japanese literature in the late Meiji period with his blend of romantic individualism, concepts of self-realization, aesthetics, and nationalism. However, many of Chogyū's works seems cryptic to contemporary readers due to the archaic style which he employed.
