Inoue Hisashi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inoue Hisashi, 井上ひさし (November 16, 1934 - ) is a leading Japanese playwright and writer of comic fiction.

Inoue was born in the small village of Kawanishi in Yamagata Prefecture. He lost his father when he was 4 years old and was subsequently sent off to a Lasallian home for children where he received a Christian baptism. He graduated from Sophia University. After an initial career in radio, he wrote his first stage play Nihonjin no Heso in 1969 for Theatre Echo. Inoue received the 1982 Seiun Award for Best Novel for Kirikiri-Jin, and 1991 Tanizaki Prize for Shanghai Moon (Shanhai Mūn, シャンハイムーン).

He has served as president of the Japan P.E.N. Club since 2003. At present it appears that none of his works have been translated into English.
