The Heredity of Taste
is a novella by Japanese writer Natsume Sōseki. Written in eight days in December 1905 and published in the January 1906 issue of the magazine ''Teikoku Bungaku'' ("Imperial Literature"), it is a story about the aftermath of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–5 and reveals Sōseki's attitude to war.
==Plot==
The novella first recounts the narrator's arrival at a train station where Japanese soldiers are returning from the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–5. The narrator sees a soldier who bear a striking resemblance to a late friend Kō-san, an infantry lieutenant who was killed in a trench during that war. He later visits Kō-san's grave at a temple and discovers that a mysterious young woman has also been visiting the bachelor soldier. Spurred on by curiosity, the narrator visits Kō-san's mother where he finds his friend's diary and reads that Kō-san had met a beautiful young woman at a post office. After investigations, the narrator proffers his own theory on the heredity of taste – the woman and Kō-san find each other attractive owing to a bond which had previously existed between their ancestors decades ago.
