Kenzaburo Oe The Second World War broke out when Oe was six. Militaristic education extended to every nook and cranny of the country, the Emperor as both monarch and deity reigning over its politics and its culture. Young Oe, therefore, experienced the nation's myth and history as well as those of the village tradition, and these dual experiences were often in conflict. Oe's grandmother was a critical storyteller who defended the culture of the village, narrating to him humourously, but ever defiantly, anti-national stories. After his father's death during the war, his mother took over his father's role as educator. The books she bought him - The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Strange Adventures of Nils Holgersson - have left him with an impression he says 'he will carry to the grave'. Japan's defeat in the war in 1945 brought enormous change, even to the remote forest village. In schools, children were taught democratic principles, replacing those of the absolutist Emperor system, and this education was all the more thorough, for the nation was then under the administration of American and other forces. Young Oe took democracy straight to his heart. So strong was his desire for democracy that he decided to leave for Tokyo; leave the village of his forefathers, the life they had lived and preserved, out of sheer belief that the city offered him an opportunity to knock on the door of democracy, the door that would lead him to a future of freedom on paths that stretched out to the world. Had it not been for the drastic change the nation underwent at this time, Oe, whose love of trees is one of his innate qualities, would have remained in his village as his forefathers had done, and tended to the forest as one of its guardians.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Kenzaburo Oe (1935-) Japanese novelist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1994. Oe has often dealt with marginal people and outcasts and isolation from individual level to social and cultural levels. Another central theme - as in the works of a number of other Japanese writers - is the conflict between traditions and modern Western culture. " My observation is that after one hundred and twenty years of modernisation since the opening of the country, present-day Japan is split between two opposite poles of ambiguity. I too am living as a writer with this polarisation imprinted on me like a deep scar." (from Nobel Lecture, 1994) Kenzaburo Oe was born in a mountain village on the island of Shikoku, the smallest of the four main Japanese islands, where his family had lived for centuries. The village and the forests surrounding it later inspired several of Oe's pastoral works. In 1944 Oe's father died in the Pacific war, and in the same year he lost his grandmother, who had taught him art and oral performance. After attending a local school, Oe transferred to a high school in Matsuyama City. He won an admission to the University of Tokyo, where he studied French literature and received his B.A. in 1959. His final-year thesis was on the French writer Jean-Paul Sartre. Another important French writer for Oe was Albert Camus. During these years he started to write and explore his childhood, when the World War II had filled his mind with horror and excitement. His early works expressed his sense of the degradation and disorientation caused by Japan's surrender at the end of World War II. Sex and violence labelled his depiction of rootless young people. Oe wanted to experiment with language and create a new way of literary expression, which would capture the social and psychological changes that took place in his home country. He also had to cope with a personal handicap, the inferiority complex of a shy young man from the country, who stuttered and spoke with heavy Shokoku accent.

Oe Kenzaburo Oe Kenzaburo, 1994 [Audio] (b. Jan. 31, 1935, Ehime prefecture, Shikoku, Japan), Japanese novelist whose works express the disillusionment and rebellion of his post-World War II generation. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1994. Oe came from a family of wealthy landowners, who lost most of their property with the occupation-imposed land reform following the war. He entered the University of Tokyo in 1954, graduating in 1959, and the brilliance of his writing while he was still a student caused him to be hailed the most promising young writer since Mishima Yukio.

His first novel, Memushiri kouchi Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids ), was highly praised, and he won a major literary award, the Akutagawa Prize, for Shiiku The Catch ). But his second novel, Wa re ra no jidai (1959; "Our Age"), was poorly received, as his contemporaries felt that Oe was becoming increasingly preoccupied with social and political criticism. Oe became deeply involved in the politics of the New Left. The murder in 1960 of Chairman Asanuma Inejiro of the Japanese Socialist Party by a right-wing youth inspired Oe to write two short stories in 1961, "Sebuntin" ("Seventeen") and "Seiji shonen shisu," the latter of which drew heavy criticism from right-wing organizations.

This page is prepared by Thomas Court and Tsuey-Lin Yap Oe, Kenzaburo Biography Grotesque Realism "A Personal Matter" The Real Story Biography Kenzaburo Oe was born in 1935, in a small Japanese town on the island of Shikoku. The women of the Oe clan had long assumed the role of storytellers. After his fatherfs death during the war, his mother took over his fatherfs role as educator. Oefs mother made sure that he had access to books as a child. Oefs favourite books as a young boy were "The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn" and "The Strange Adventures of Nils Holgersson." These two books left him with an impression he says "He will carry to the grave." The Second World War started when he was six. Oe and his peers received military education in schools. Oe recalls, gThe Ethics teacher would call the boys to the front of the class and demand of them one by one what they would do if the Emperor commanded them to die. Shaking with fright, the child would answer: "I would die, Sir, I would rip open my belly and die." Students passed the Imperial portrait with their eyes to the ground, afraid their eyeballs would explode if they looked His Imperial Majesty in the face.hKenzaburo had a recurring dream in which the Emperor swopped out of the sky like a bird, his body covered with white feathers. On the day the Emperor announced the Surrender in August 1945, Oe was a ten-year-old boy living in a mountain village. Here is how he recalls the event: "The adults sat around their radios and cried. The children gathered outside in the dusty road and whispered their bewilderment. We were most confused and disappointed by the fact that the Emperor had spoken in a human voice, no different from any adultfs. None of us understood what he was saying, but we all had heard his voice. One of my friends could even imitate it cleverly. Laughing, we surrounded him - a twelve year old in grimy shorts who spoke with the Emperorfs voice. A minute later we felt afraid. We looked at one another; no one spoke. How could we believe that an august presence of such awful power had become an ordinary human being on a designated summer day?"

Clubbing BIG IN JAPAN Oe Kenzaburo Courtesy of Kyodo Photo Service Born on the island of Shikoku in 1935, the son of a successful paper merchant, Nobel Prize-winning writer Oe grew up in an isolated, rural setting, his fertile imagination encouraged by his grandmother' retelling of legends and folk tales. He was an introverted, dreamy child, who excelled first at math and then at literature. Realizing the potential shown by his high school studies, Oe moved to the mainland in 1954 to enter Tokyo University. His fiction was published first in student magazines, and soon drew the attention of the literary world outside. In 1958 his short story "Shiiku" (Prize Stock) won the Akutagawa Prize for Literature, and in the same year his first novel came out - "Memeshiri Kouchi" (Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids). Oe, following his graduation at the age of 23, plunged directly into a career as a full-time writer. In 1960 he married Yukari, the sister of film director and old high-school friend, Itami Juzo. In the sixties Japan saw its new-found economic prosperity shaken by recurring student riots over the US-Japan defense treaty. Recording the atmosphere of nuclear paranoia following the Cuban missile crisis, Oe found himself under attack from both left and right-wingers for refusing to bow down to party dogma. The year 1963, however, was to bring a very personal tragedy; the couple's first son, Hikari, was born with a cerebral hernia - the surgery to save the infant's life resulted in irreversible brain damage.

The smug fat cats in suits who' controlled Japan throughout the twentieth century still have a firm grip on power but Doi Takako has done more than most to try to break that stranglehold. Currently leader of the Social Democratic Party, it was Doi who achieved the highest government rank that a woman has held so far that of Speaker of the House. Doi entered political life in 1969, after a career as a lecturer at first Kansei Gakuin University and then Seiwa Women's University. The 1970s and '80s were a long, hard struggle against the prejudices of the male-dominated, corruption-riddled bureaucracy that passed for a government, a fight that was well- documented in her biography "My Way" (she hasn't commented on how much of her ideology has been inspired by Sinatra). In 1986 she was elected Chairperson of the SDPJ and became a media celebrity, sparking a so-called "Madonna boom" - a wave of women who aspired to enter politics and follow her example. In 1989 came her first serious battle, over the new consumption tax, which she and her party campaigned against. The tax was introduced, and the ruling LDP party was voted in once more - but suffered heavy losses, while Doi's party won many new seats. This led her to utter her most famous one-liner, "The mountain has moved."

Oe Kenzaburo Oe Kenzaburo Japanese novelist whose works express the disillusionment and rebellion of his post-World War II generation. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1994. Oe came from a family of wealthy landowners, who lost most of their property with the occupation-imposed land reform following the war.

Oe became deeply involved in the politics of the New Left. The murder in 1960 of Chairman Asanuma Inejiro of the Japanese Socialist Party by a right-wing youth inspired Oe to write two short stories in 1961, "Sebuntin" ("Seventeen") and "Seiji shonen shisu," the latter of which drew heavy criticism from right-wing organizations.
