Donald Keene's Japan (Pt. 57): Appreciating Masaoka Shiki, reviver of classical haiku poetry
Shiki (屍鬼; "Corpse Demon" or "Death Spirit") is a Japanese horror novel written by Fuyumi Ono. It was originally published in two parts by Shinchosha in 1998, and was then reprinted into five parts in 2002.
The Shiki anime is an adaptation of the Shiki manga series drawn by Ryu Fujisaki, which is itself an adaptation of a novel series of the same name by Fuyumi Ono. The story happens in a small isolated town in rural Japan named Sotoba, where a series of bizarre deaths occur, coinciding with the arrival of the Kirishiki family who has just moved into a castle built on the outskirts.

Shiki: Created by Ryu Fujisaki, Fuyumi Ono. With Tôru Ôkawa, Kôki Uchiyama, Wataru Takagi, Kazuyuki Okitsu. When many deaths occur in the quiet village of Sotoba, Doctor Toshio Ozaki initially suspects an epidemic but soon becomes convinced that something else is causing them.
Shiki is a mature, poignant show that asks you several profound questions and dares you to come up with your own satisfactory answers. And if you really want to see this show go from ridiculous to horrifying in the blink of an eye, just wait until one of the characters starts to cry.
