was a leading Japanese playwright and writer of comic fiction. From 1961 to 1986, he used the pen name of Uchiyama Hisashi. == Early life == Inoue was born in what is now part of Kawanishi in Yamagata Prefecture, where his father was a pharmacist. His father was involved in an agrarian reform movement and also managed a local drama troupe. A novel his father had written won a prize and he was offered a job as a scriptwriter in a film company. But when he was preparing to move to Tokyo, he got spinal caries and, soon after, when Hisashi Inoue was 5 years old, he died at age 34. It was a sudden death. The death of father influenced Hisashi to be writer.〔 Nobuko, Tanaka, "Crusader with a Pen: The Japan Times." Japan Times RSS. Ed, 30 Sept. 2006.〕 After suffering from child abuse at the hands of his stepfather, he was subsequently sent off to a Lasallian orphanage in Sendai, where he received a Christian baptism. He graduated from Sophia University’s Facility of Letters, continuing on to graduate school in French literature, with a two-year hiatus in between to raise more money for his studies by working at a sanatorium in Kamaishi, Iwate. World War II began when Inoue was just 11 years old. During war time, Inoue felt that he couldn't make an impact because he was just one man. It cultivated thoughts about how people of the lower social classes might look at the world and understand it. The experience of war helped shape Inoue’s own writing style, and it allowed him to see around the world in an anti-war perspective.〔Christopher, Robins, Japanese Language and Literature,Vol. 40, No. 1 (Apr., 2006), pp. 37-5, American Association of Teachers of Japanese 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hisashi Inoue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
