Internationally noted scholar Kojin Karatani began work as a literary critic, while teaching at Hosei University in Tokyo. In 1975, Yale University invited him to teach Japanese literature as a visiting professor. After publishing Origins of Modern Japanese Literature in 1980, he switched to more theoretical studies, ranging from Architecture as Metaphor: language, number, money; to Transcritique: on Kant and Marx. Since 1990, he has taught at Columbia University as a visiting professor of comparative literature.
