Miekichi Suzuki

Biography

He studied English literature at Tokyo Imperial University (now the University of Tokyo), and later launched a children's literature magazine called 赤い鳥 (Akai tori / Red Bird) in 1918. Unusually for its time, the journal emphasized learning from observation and experience rather than rote learning, and focused on everyday language as much as ceremonial language. 196 issues were published.

 * Kojiki Monogatari (古事記物語)
 * Daishin Kasai Ki (大震火災記)
