Tachihara Michizo
Tachihara Michizō ( Japanese 立 原 道 造 ; * July 30, 1914 in Tokyo ; † March 29, 1939 ) was a Japanese poet.
Tachihara attended high school in Morioka from 1927. There he learned pastel painting in a painting club. In 1929, eleven of his Tanka poems were published in a magazine. He then studied architecture at the University of Tokyo and received the annual award for the best architectural project.
But his real interest was in literature. During his student days he read the poems of Rilke , Baudelaire and Valéry in the original language and was one of the founding members and authors of the literary magazine Shiki ( 四季 , Four Seasons ) in the 1930s . In 1938 he fell ill with tuberculosis and quickly succumbed to the disease at the age of twenty-four.
