Introduction:

The literature of Asia is a rich collection of stories that both reflect the beliefs,
culture, and feeling of the people. It covers East, Central, West and South East
Asia. Due to the enormity of the coverage of its literature a reader or a
researcher may further divide its collection based on the country of origin,
religion, literary genre, language or historical perspective. Like the literature of
other regions, Asian literature can be classified as lyric, drama or narrative and
it usually reflect predominant culture and philosophies of a particular epoch.

The literature of India, China, and Japan has been the most popular among
other Asian countries due to its longevity and influence over other countries.
India, whose majority of literature is written in Sanskrit, for example, has a
literary collection that can be traced to date back to 800 B.C. Classic Indian
literature would reflect their predominant faith: Hinduism.
Introduction:
While modern Indian literature, like the works of Rabindranath Tagore, would
focus more on subject matters that can be related to society and national issues.
Chinese literature, on the contrary, does not include epic poems but rather
stresses on everyday issues of society. Its collection which includes The Book of
Songs, said to have been compiled by Confucius and The Tao The Ching, the
central book of Taoism, both focuses on the duties, behaviour, and actions a
person must do in order to belong harmoniously to his society.

One of the greatest collections of poetry, the Man'yoshu, is perhaps one of the
most celebrated pieces of literature of Japan. More popular to readers when in
terms of Japanese literature are the works of Matsuo Basho, a famous haiku
writer, and Murasaki Shikibu‘s the Tale of the Genji. Modern Japanese texts
include the works of Motokiyo, Kawabata, Tanizaki, Mishima, Ryunosuke, and
Murakami. With upcoming writers from different Asian countries, its literature
promises to be even richer and responsive to the changes of the 21st century.
