Taiko Hirabayashi
Japanese writer (1905-1972)
Taiko Hirabayashi (平林 たい子, Hirabayashi Taiko, 3 October 1905 – 17 February 1972) was the pen-name of a Japanese writer. Her real name was Hirabayashi Tai.
Biography
Hirabayashi resolved at the age of 12 to become a writer and also developed an interest in socialism at a young age. After graduating from the Suwa Women’s Higher School in 1922, she moved to Tokyo and began living with an anarchist named Torazo Yamamoto.[1] They went to Korea together but returned after only one month. They were both arrested in the confusion and clampdowns following the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake and released on condition of leaving Tokyo. She eventually moved to Manchuria and was to give birth in a hospital in Dalian but the child lived for only twenty-four days, dying of malnutrition. Based on this personal experience, she wrote the short story In the Charity Hospital, which established her as a writer of proletarian literature.
She married the novelist and critic Jinji Kobori [ja] in 1927, but divorced him
