Ishikawa Tatsuzō

Ishikawa Tatsuzō was born on 2 July 1905 in Yokote, in Akita Prefecture. He entered literary studies at Waseda University and left without a degree. In 1930, he left for Brazil as an emigrant subsidised by the State and worked on a plantation, which he left after a month to travel before returning. Sent to China by a magazine after the capture of Nanjing, he drew from it in 1938 an account of the army's violence, which was censored and led to his arrest and conviction under the press law. He died in Tokyo on 31 January 1985.
