Ri Kaisei (Japanese; Hanja / Kanji : 李 恢 成 ; Lee Hwesong , Yi Hoe-sŏng , Yi Hoe-seong , I Feson , I Fue-song , Chinese: Li Huicheng , Li Hui-ch'eng ; * February 26, 1935 in Maoka ) is a Japanese writer of Korean descent.
Born as the son of Korean parents in Maoka, today Cholmsk, in what was then the Japanese south of Sakhalin Island , Ri had to leave the island after the Second World War and came to Japan with his family. In his works he repeatedly reflected on his ties to the lost homeland and the situation of the Korean minority in Japan . In 1972 he was the first “foreign” writer to receive the Akutagawa Prize for Kinuta o utsu onna . His best-known work is the educational novel Kayako no tami ni (1970).
