Yone Noguchi: The Stream of Fate is the first full-length biography of the pioneering international Japanese poet Yone Noguchi (Noguchi Yonejiro, 1875-1947).
Volume One, The Western Sea begins in the last year of Noguchi’s life with his postwar effort to reconnect with his estranged son, the famous artist Isamu Noguchi, and the story encompasses Noguchi’s early life in Japan, his years abroad in America and England, and his return to Japan at the time of the Russo-Japanese War. The volume includes a lavish selection of over 200 illustrations and an introduction illuminating the controversies of Noguchi’s posthumous reputation.
