Sakae Kubo
was a Japanese playwright and director. Kubo studied and translated German literature at Tokyo Imperial University and then soon he became the disciple of another famous playwright and theatre director, Kaoru Osanai. From his mentor, Kubo had adopted Shingeki theater, a new type of drama that developed in Japan in the early 20th century under the influence of Western-style theater. To honor the death of his teacher, Kubo began to write one of his most famous works, which was ''The Land of Volcanic Ash: A Play in Two Parts'', translated by David Goodman. This play was most recognized for its focus on socialism that was depicted in pre-war Japan. It is seen as realist drama, for it describes the struggles of a reform-minded intellectual in the Hokkaido countryside which took place during the Soviet famine of 1932–33.
==Early life==
Kubo was the second son if seven children in his family, born to his father Hyotaro Kubo. The Kubo family had migrated to Hokkaido in 1898 because they had to assist in their family's brick foundry business. Once Kubo was old enough to start his education, he was placed into care from his father's youngest brother and spent his first three years of grade school in Tokyo. Later, Sakae was reunited with his family of birth and resided back in Hokkaido, but quickly returned back to Tokyo for High school. Sakae's father wished for him to become a doctor, but he refused and dropped out of High School in Tokyo in 1919. Instead of studying the physical sciences, he began publishing poetry in ''Hototogisu'' and ''Mizugame'', which were two leading magazines for poetry during this time.〔 Shortly after dropping out of high school, Sakae moved back to Hokkaido to practice oil painting and study Japanese literature.〔
