Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".Template:Main other Script error: No such module "Nihongo". was a Japanese novelist and author, born in Kumagaya. He is best known for the controversial Template:Ill (悪魔の飽食) (1981), which revealed the atrocities committed by Unit 731 of the Imperial Japanese Army during the Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945).[1][2]
The Devil's Gluttony was serialized in the Shimbun Akahata (Japanese Communist Party's newspaper) in 1980,[1] and subsequently published by Kobunsha (光文社), in two volumes in 1981 and 1982.[3] In the ensuing controversy, half of a photograph was discovered to be a fabrication, and Kobunsha subsequently withdrew the book. A second edition was then published by Kadokawa Shoten in 1983 with the controversial photograph removed.[4]
Morimura won the Edogawa Rampo Prize in 1969 for Death in the High-Rise (高層の死角).[5]
His short story "Devil of a Boy" appears translated into English in Ellery Queen's Japanese Golden Dozen: The Detective Story World in Japan anthology, which was edited by Ellery Queen.
Seiichi Morimura died of pneumonia on July 24, 2023, at the age of 90.[6][7]
