Nakahara Chuya was born in the Yamaguchi Prefecture in 1907.

It is claimed that he wrote his first poetry at the age of 8, a poem about the death of one of his younger brothers. What is known is that by the time he was in the final years of elementary school, he was sending tanka verse to newspaper poetry columns.

His first collection [Sugurono] was published jointly with a friend when he was in his early teens. In 1923, he transferred to the Ritsumeikan Middle School in Kyoto, where he learnt about dadaist poetry. Two years later, he was on the move again, this time to Tokyo. It was here that he met Kawakami Tetsutaro and Ooka Shohei, and together they began publishing a poetry journal, Hakuchigun (Idiots).
Beginning with 'Samui yoru no jigazo,' (Self portrait on a cold night), he published many verses including a collection called, Yagi no uta (Poems of the goat). At about the same time he also started contributing poems to two journals Shiki (The Fours Seasons), and Bungakukai (The Literary World). He joined the staff at Shiki and at another journal, Rekitei (The Traveled Path). He was never popular enough to be counted among the mainstream of poets but was only really accepted by the critics Kobayashi Hideo and Kawakami Tetsutaro. However his verses have now gained a wide following and he is accepted as a truly representative poet of the early Showa era. After losing his child in 1936, he suffered a nervous breakdown. Despite his ill health, he worked on his second collection of poems, Arishi hi no uta (Poems of bygone days) but died in October 1937 at the age of 30, before seeing its publication.

Chūya Nakahara (中原中也, Nakahara Chūya), born Chūya Kashimura (柏村中也, Kashimura Chūya), (29 April 1907 – 22 October 1937) was a Japanesepoet active during the early Shōwa period. Originally shaped by Dada and other forms of European (mainly French) experimental poetry, he was one of the leading renovators of Japanese poetry. Although he died at the young age of 30, he wrote more than 350 poems throughout his life. Some of them are included in his collections Yagi no Uta ('Goat Songs', 1934) and the posthumously published Arishi Hi no Uta ('Songs of Bygone Days', 1938). Many called him the 'Japanese Rimbaud' for his affinities with the French poet whose poems he translated in 1934.

Early life[edit]

Chūya with his parents

Chūya Nakahara was born in Yamaguchi, where his father, Kensuke Kashimura, was a highly decorated army doctor. Kensuke married Fuku Nakahara and was adopted by the Nakahara family shortly after the birth of their son, officially changing their last name to Nakahara. In Nakahara's earliest years, his father was sent to Hiroshima and Kanazawa where the family followed, only returning to Yamaguchi in 1914. In 1917, Kensuke established his own clinic in the location where nowadays stands the Nakahara Chūya Memorial Hall.

Since his parents had not been blessed with children for six years after their marriage, and because they had no children in the Nakahara family's hometown, they were delighted with the birth of their first son and celebrated it for three days.^[1]

Education and literary beginnings[edit]

As the eldest son of a prominent doctor, Nakahara was expected to become one himself. Due to the high expectations of his father, Nakahara was given a very strict education, which also prevented him from enjoying an ordinary childhood. Worried about the public morals of the town, Kensuke forbid his son from playing outside with children from a different class to their own. Another example of these restrictions is that, unlike his younger brothers, he was not allowed to bathe in the river for fear that he would drown.^[2] As he grew up, severe punishments were inflicted upon him; a common one was being made to stand upright facing the wall. Any sudden move would cause to receive a burn in the heel with a cigarette ember. However, the biggest punishment was being confined to sleep in the barn, which Chūya received dozens of times compared to his brothers.^[3] This was intended to prepare him to follow Kensuke's footsteps and to become the head of the family.

As a primary schooler, Nakahara had excellent grades and was called a prodigy child. It was the death of his younger brother Tsugurō in 1915, when he was 8-years-old, which awakened him to literature. Grief-driven, he turned to composing poetry. He submitted his first three verses to a women's magazine and local newspaper in 1920, when he was still in elementary school. In the same year, he passed the entrance examination to Yamaguchi Junior High School with brilliant results. It was from this point onwards when he started to rebel against his father's strictness. https://newranking225.weebly.com/blog/dell-e6410-drivers-windows-7-64-bit. He no longer studied and his grades began to drop as he became increasingly absorbed by literature. Kensuke was extremely afraid of the influence of literature on his son. Once, having found a work of fiction Nakahara had hidden, he severely scolded him and, once again, confined him in the barn. It was around this time when Nakahara also began to drink and smoke, making his grades go even lower.^{[citation needed]}

In 1923, he failed his third-year examination. It is said that Nakahara invited a friend to his study room, broke the answer sheet and chanted 'hurrah'.^{[citation needed]} The failure seems to have been deliberate. For as long as he did not fail, he was bound to remain under his strict parents' surveillance. On the other hand, Kensuke received the news with utter shock at what meant to him a deep humiliation. He resorted once more to striking his son and keeping him in the barn in the cold night of March. Regardless of this, Nakahara insisted on not going back to this school. This culminated in his father's defeat, which ultimately led to an apology for his “educational policy”. In the light of these events, he was transferred to the Ritsumeikan Middle School in Kyoto, where Nakahara begin to live alone but still, and until the end of his days, at the expense of his family.

In Kyoto he found many of the influences that would ultimately shape him as a poet. He read Shinkichi Takahashi's Dadaist poetry, which shocked him into starting to write again. This artistic movement became a part of his poetic and life styles and later earned him the nickname “Dada-san”. In winter he met the actress Yasuko Hasegawa, three years his senior, and in April 1924 they began living together. It is also in this very year when Chūya became friends with fellow poet Tominaga Tarō. After completing Junior High School, Chūya and Yasuko decided to follow Tominaga to Tokyo, on the basis of attending university there. As he was unable to take the exam due to lack of documents or being late, he was sent out by his family on the condition that he would go to a preparatory school instead.
