History and profile
Gunzo (群像) was first published in October 1946[1] as junbungaku (純文学?, lit. "pure literature") oriented publication. The magazine is published by Kodansha.
The past contributors for the magazine include: Kenzaburō Ōe, Haruki Murakami and Yoriko Shono. Along with Shinchō, Bungakukai, Subaru and Bungei magazines, Gunzo is among the leading thick literary magazines in Japan.
