Hagiwara Sakutarō (萩原朔太郎) was a Japanese writer of free-style verse, active in the Taishō and early Shōwa periods of Japan. He liberated Japanese free verse from the grip of traditional rules, and he is considered the “father of modern colloquial poetry in Japan”. He published many volumes of essays, literary and cultural criticism, and aphorisms over his long career.

Quotes by Sakutarō Hagiwara (?)

“The fresh green and fragrant winds of a May morning make an aristocrat of my life. Under a dripping sky-blue window, I would like to ply forks of pure silver with a woman I love. Someday, once in my life, I would like to steal and eat that love-plate of skylarks, which gleams in the sky.”
― Sakutarō Hagiwara, Cat Town

“This was followed by a year of silence. Then he wrote to Maeda to say, “I discovered my own god.”

“I am yearning for love,
yearning for a girl poor of heart who loves me,
her hand is trembling on a blue treetop,
in order to yearn for my love, always at a high place, is trembling with gentle feeling.”
― Sakutarō Hagiwara, Cat Town
