[About the author] Dazai Osamu (1909-1948), a representative writer of the Japanese rogue school (or new drama school). His real name is Shuji Tsushima, and he was born into a wealthy landowner family in Kaneki Village, Kitatsugaru County, Aomori Prefecture. His father, Gen'emon, was a member of the House of Lords and the House of Representatives. He was a local celebrity and was known as Mr. Kaneki. Dazai Osamu is the sixth son of his parents. He is the youngest of eleven brothers and sisters. His father was often busy with his career and his mother was sick. Dazai Osamu grew up under the care of his aunt and nanny. In 1927, when Dazai Osamu was studying at Hirosaki High School, he was greatly shocked when he heard the news that the talented writer Akutagawa Ryunosuke he admired had committed suicide. In 1930, he entered the French Department of Tokyo Imperial University and soon retired. Joined the left-wing movement and then "turned". In 1930, he met Atsumi Tanabe, the mistress of a certain painter, in Ginza's "Hollywood". The two went to Kamakura Beach to have a love affair. Tanabe died, but Dazai survived. The novels "Leaf", "Clown's Flower", "The Crowned Ape Face" and "Run, Mellor" all have plots of "suicide by drowning". Dazai later studied under the famous writers Sato Haruo and Ibushi Tsuuji. Since he was a child, he was influenced by the rough and wild natural climate of the northern seaboard and the influence of the family tradition of the declining aristocracy. He developed a strange and changeable, bohemian, sometimes arrogant and sometimes inferior character. In his short life of thirty-nine years, he and his women committed suicide five times, and attempted love four times. Finally, he and Yamazaki Tomei drowned themselves in the Tamagawa River. It just so happened that June 19th, a week after the two people jumped into the water, coincided with Dazai Osamu's thirty-ninth birthday. Early that morning, the body was fished ashore and, in accordance with his last wish, he was buried at the Mitaka Kobe Zenrinji Temple in Tokyo, located directly opposite the Ogai Tomb in Meiji Bunhausen. The following year, an anniversary ceremony was held on this day, and it was named "Cherry Ji" from then on. Every year on June 19th, literary young people who admire the writer's reputation gather at Zenrinji Temple or Tamagawa Shosui to commemorate and mourn, and the scenery will last forever.
