Suiin Emi
was a Japanese novelist and journalist.
Born in Okayama into a ''shizoku'' (former samurai) family,〔Henshall, p.21〕 he travelled to Tokyo to join the army but instead joined the Kenyūsha literary society and quickly became celebrated during the Sino-Japanese War for his patriotic stories in the newspaper ''Chūō Shinbun''.〔James L. Huffman. ''Creating a public: people and press in Meiji Japan.'' University of Hawaii Press, 1997. Page 211.〕
A pillar of the Meiji-era literary establishment, and the editor of ''Kobe Shinbun'' and ''Taiheiyo''〔''Who's who in Japan.'' Volume 22, 1941.〕 as well as ''Senshibankō''〔Levy, p.204〕 and ''Kozakuraodoshi'',〔 his writing is marred for modern readers by its imperialist outlook, one example being ''Osero'', a new version of ''Othello'' commissioned for the Otojiro Kawakami troupe and set in the Taiwan of 1903, in which the Othello figure, the governor Lt. Gen. Muro Washirō, is a Japanese ''burakumin'' who has been sent to the island to suppress a rebellion.〔Levy, p.209〕
He was the first to refer to sumo as the national sport (''kokugi''), inspiring the name of the Ryōgoku Kokugikan stadium built in 1909.〔"Kokugikan celebrates 100th anniversary." ''Yomiuri Shimbun.'' 7 June 2009.〕 He died in Matsuyama.
