Rhymed prose
Rhymed prose is a literary form and literary genre, written in unmetrical rhymes.
 This form has been known in many different cultures.
 In some cases the rhymed prose is a distinctive, well-defined style of writing.
 In modern literary traditions the boundaries of poetry are very broad (free verse, prose poetry, etc.), and some works may be described both as prose and poetry.

 His work "Syrinx: Pastels of Hellas", which was published by his friend Donald Evans on his Claire Marie Press in 1914, was praised by H.L. Mencken who remarked that "Syrinx" contained "a series of Grecian rhapsodies in rhythmic prose, many of them of considerable beauty."

 Kitagawa was also a well-known film critic, one who especially praised the work of Mansaku Itami (the father of Juzo Itami), calling it a new, realistic "prose cinema" ("sanbun eiga") in opposition to the old "poetic cinema" ("inbun eiga") of Sadao Yamanaka, Daisuke Itō, and others.
