Biography

Suzuki was born in Hiroshima. 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.[1] 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.[2] 196 issues were published.

Major works

Suzuki's major works include:

• Kojiki Monogatari (古事記物語, The tale of Kojiki)
• Daishin Kasai Ki (大震火災記, A record of the great earthquake and fire)
• Bukubuku naganaga hinome kozou (ぶくぶく長々火の目小僧, Expanding, growing fire-eyed boy)
