Yamamoto Shugoro, famous Japanese writer (1903-1967) was born in Yamanashi Prefecture to a poor family. Lack of money forced him to drop out of school, but he continued to study on his own from books he picked up at a secondhand bookstore owned by a relative. He lived modestly and worked hard. He died in Yokohama of acute pneumonia and was buried in a public cemetery in Kamakura.
His real fame came after his death. In 1987, an annual Literary Prize was established in his name. Yamamoto Shugoro's works have been screened many times, the most famous in Russia is Akira Kurosawa's film "Red Beard" starring Toshiro Mifune, based on the writer's most famous novel of the same name. The novel "Red Beard" and selected stories of the writer made up this book.
