The materials of the Japanese poet Araki Yasusada (1907-1972) were published in Grand Street, Conjunctions, Abiko Quarterly, FirstIntensity, Stand and TheAmerican Poetry Review. Gradually, the rumor began circulating that Araki Yasusada did not exist and that the poems were a hoax perpetrated by the Japanese-American author Tosa Motokiyu (who passed away Summer 1996) or by his literary executor, the American poet Kent Johnson.

"This is essentially a criminal act"-Arthur Vogelsang.

Araki Yasusada was a fictitious Japanese poet. Yasusada was nominally a survivor of the Hiroshima atom bomb. He was born in 1907, attended Hiroshima University (before it was even founded, in 1949), worked in the postal service, and was conscripted into the Japanese army during World War II. He died of cancer in 1972.
