Reginald Horace Blyth (3 December 1898 – 28 October 1964) was an English author and devotee of Japanese culture. ==Early life== Blyth was born in Essex, England, the son of a railway clerk. He attended Cleveland Road Primary School, in Ilford, then the County High School (later Ilford County High School).〔''The Genius of Haiku - Readings from R H Blyth'', The British Haiku Society, 1994, p3 ISBN 0 9522397 0 1〕 In 1916, at the height of World War I, he was imprisoned at Wormwood Scrubs, as a conscientious objector, before working on the Home Office Scheme at Princetown Work Centre in the former and future Dartmoor Prison. After the war he attended the University of London, where he read English and from which he graduated in 1923, with honours. He adopted a vegetarian lifestyle which he maintained throughout his life. Blyth played the flute, made musical instruments, and taught himself several European languages. He was particularly fond of the music of J.S. Bach. In 1924, he received a teaching certificate from London Day Training College. The same year, he married Annie Bercovitch, a university friend. Some accounts say they moved to India, where he taught for a while until he became unhappy with British colonial rule. Other scholars dismiss this episode, claiming it to have been invented by Blyth's mentor Suzuki Daisetsu. (Pinnington, 1997).
