Details Discusses the influence of Sherwood Anderson's WINESBURG, OHIO on Toshio Mori's YOKOHAMA, CALIFORNIA. Identifies a basic difference between these works in their representation of interpersonal communication and the relationship of the individual artist to society. Uses Japanese psychiatrist Takeo Doi's The Anatomy of Dependence and western feminist critiques of the western philosophical tradition of individualism to explain Mori's departures from Anderson.
