In Japanese literature, Hammura was also a pioneer in the genre of alternative history (the saga “The Legend of the Suspicious Star”, 1975-1993).
In 1983, Hanmura became the first winner of the Itsumi Kioka Literary Award for the novel Musubi no Yama Hiroku [3] . In 1988, he was awarded the Big Prize of Japanese Science Fiction or the Nihon SF Taisho Award [4] .
