was a Japanese author. ==Life and work== Ibuse was born in 1898 to a landowning family in the village of Kamo which is now part of Fukuyama, Hiroshima. At the age of 19 he started studying at Waseda University in Tokyo. He was at first interested in studying poetry and painting but was encouraged to study fiction and ended up specialising in French literature. He was harassed sexually by a gay professor named Noburu Katagami, so he had to leave the university before graduation, but began publishing stories in the early 1920s. He began to be recognised in the late 1920s when his work was favorably mentioned by some of Japan's top critics. He appeared on the literary scene with the publication of ''Salamander'' in 1929, and thereafter continued to write in a style characterized by a unique blend of humour and bitterness. He was awarded the Naoki Prize for ''John Manjirou, the Cast-Away; his Life and Adventure'' and continued to publish works filled with warmth and kindliness, while at the same time showing his keen power of observation. The themes he employed were usually intellectual fantasies that used animal allegories, historical fiction, and the country life. During World War II he worked for the government as a propaganda writer. 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「Masuji Ibuse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
