Inoue Yasushi

  • Name: Inoue Yasushi
  • Native name: 井上靖
  • Nationality: Japanese
  • Gender: Male
  • Born: May 6, 1907
  • Died: January 29, 1991
Yasushi Inoue (May 6, 1907 – January 29, 1991) was a Japanese writer of poetry, essays, short fiction, and novels. Born in Asahikawa, Hokkaido in 1907, Inoue was raised in Shizuoka Prefecture.
Inoue studied at both Kyushu University and Kyoto University. He balanced his studies with a career as college judoka, even participating at the prestigious Nanatei league, but he left the martial art in order to focus on his literary career.
He is famous for his serious historical fiction of ancient Japan and the Asian continent, including Wind and Waves, Tun-huang, and Confucius, but his work also included semi-autobiographical novels and short fiction of great humor, pathos, and wisdom like Shirobamba and Asunaro Monogatari, which depicted the setting of the author's own life — Japan of the early to mid twentieth century — in revealing perspective.
