His real name was Kanno Arimoto. He was born on March 3, 1886, in Tsuda Village, Shikisai District, Hyogo Prefecture (present-day Himeji City). He entered Kansai Junior High School in Okayama City. While in school, he wrote poetry and participated in the literary magazine "Hakko." After going to Tokyo and graduating from the Higher Normal School of Waseda University, he joined Jitsugyo no Nihon-sha and was active as the editor-in-chief of "Nihon Shonen" (Japan's Boys). In 1905, he joined the Shakensosha [2] and wrote tanka with Mokusu Wakayama and Yoyo Masatomi. While respecting the pioneers such as Gyokujo Usuda, Tekkan Yosano, and Akiko Yosano, the children's poems he published in "Nihon Shonen" every issue were loved by young readers and had a great influence on literary figures. In April 1913 (Taisho 2), he married Kiyoko, the eldest daughter of Ryugoro Ijiri and his wife Hayashi of Kita, Ukita Village, Kamido District, Okayama Prefecture [3]. Ryugoro was a person who contributed to the education world of Okayama Prefecture, such as founding Kibi Commercial School (present-day Okayama University of Commerce High School) in 1911 (Meiji 44). After the last issue of "Nihon Shonen" Vol. 14, No. 8, Hosui was engaged in the editing of "Jitsugyo no Nihon" [4]. Even after retiring from "Nihon Shonen," he often published his works in the magazine, but due to his busy schedule, he completely distanced himself from poetry writing, and after serving as the editor-in-chief of "Jitsugyo no Nihon" and as a director of the company, he retired in 1941 (Showa 16). He published "Hosui Shishu," "Tabibito," "Furusato," and "Kanashiki Fue" from Jitsugyo no Nihon-sha. "Hosui Shishu" was designed and illustrated by Yumeji Takehisa, and their friendship continued for a long time through their work. After returning to Okayama, he lectured at junior colleges and universities in Okayama, and later became a professor emeritus at Okayama University of Commerce. He lived a leisurely life surrounded by his wife, two sons, and one daughter, but in the spring of 1945 (Showa 20), he evacuated to his wife's parents' home, and his house in Yoyogi was burned down in an air raid, and he made Kita, Kamido-cho, Kamido District, the current Kamido area of Higashi-ku, Okayama City, his permanent residence. ★ The inside is clean with no writing.
