Ame ni mo makezu (I Won’t Be Beaten By The Rain) is the best-known work of Kenji Miyazawa. It was discovered after his death in a notebook he carried with him at all times. The poem is beautiful in its simplicity and presents us with a wonderful insight into the world as viewed by Kenji.
About the Author
Kenji Miyazawa is one of Japan’s best known and well-loved writers and poets. He was born in what is now Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, Japan, in 1896. Although the eldest son of a wealthy pawnbroker and landowner, Kenji was a deeply spiritual person who led a frugal life. When he wasn’t writing he volunteered a great deal of his time teaching farmers how to improve their crop yields, and organizing concerts for classical music in his local village. He was a prolific writer who completed hundreds of works, but only a small collection of those were published while he was alive, his reputation as one of Japan’s greatest storytellers only coming after his death (1933 - aged 37).
