'''' was a monthly literary magazine published in Japan between April 1900 and November 1908. The name Myōjō can be translated as either Bright Star or Morning Star.
==History and profile== The magazine was established in 1900. It was the organ of a poetry circle called Shinshisha (New Poetry Society) which had been founded by Yosano Tekkan in 1899. Myōjō was initially known for its development and promotion of a modernized version of the 31-syllable tanka poetry. Famous contributors such as Yosano Akiko, who also edited the magazine, transformed the traditional poetry with a sensual style in the romantic movement.
