Yūgure Maeda (前田 夕暮 Maeda Yūgure; 1883–1951) was a Japanese tanka poet.
Biography
Yūgure Maeda was born on 27 July 1883.[1] He was born in Minamiyana Village, Ōsumi District (modern-day Hadano City), Kanagawa Prefecture.[2] His real name was Yōzō Maeda (前田 洋造 Maeda Yōzō).[2]
He dropped out of middle school without graduating.[3] In 1904 he moved to Tokyo[4] and became a student of the tanka poet Saishū Onoe.[5]
He died in 20 April 1951.[1]
Writings
Most of Maeda's early tanka compositions were submitted to a variety of literary magazines and were rejected without a second word.[6] He was encouraged by Saishū Onoe, writer of a poetry column for the periodical Shinsei (新声), to keep up his efforts, however.[6]
Maeda was deeply critical of what he saw as the excessive romanticism of poets associated with important magazine Myōjō.[3]
Reception
Literary historian and critic Donald Keene wrote compared Kubota's poetry to that of Akiko Yosano, ironically one of the targets of Maeda's criticism.[3]
