China: The writer Lu Xun together with his close Japanese friend Uchiyama Kanzo in Shanghai, c. 1932

Uchiyama Kanzo settled in Shanghai with his wife shortly after they were married in March of 1916. He first established a bookstore in 1917 on North Sichuan Road at a different address from the one where the store would later prosper from 1929 to 1945. Kanzo and Lu Xun first met in the original bookstore in October of 1927, and their friendship continued until Lu Xun’s death nearly ten years later.
