From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Yojiro Ishizaka (çŸ³å‚ æ´‹æ¬¡éƒŽ; Ishizaka YÅjirÅ), (July 25, 1900 in Daikancho 82, Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture - October 7, 1986) was an influential and popular novelist of post-World War II Japan.
Education and early career
Ishizaka went to Hirosaki Middle School in 1913 and then to Keio University in 1920. On graduating, he took a position at Hirosaki Women's High School. Later, he became a teacher at Akita Women's High School. From 1929 to 1938 he taught at Yokote Junior High School.
In 1939, he moved to Tokyo, and in 1940, he was a war correspondant in the Philippines.
Ishizaka the writer
His novel Aoi Sanmyaku (é’ã„山脈, "Blue Mountain Range") helped introduce the concept of the "New Japan" - a postwar culture that could look forward to a new future.
While widely popular in Japan, to the point that some of his stories were made into multiple movies, only a small portion of his writings have been translated and published in the English language.
