About Hasegawa Shigure
- Hasegawa Shigure (??? ??, 1879-1941) was a Japanese playwright and editor of a literary journal.
- Hasegawa was the only female to be featured in three volumes of the Meiji bungaku zenshu ("Collected works of Meiji literature"), a collection published by Chikuma Shobo, and she had the title joryu bundan no ogosho ("great writer of the woman’s literary community’"); Barbara Hartley, author of "The space of childhood memories: Hasegawa Shigure and Old Nihonbashi," cited these facts when describing Hasegawa as "a major literary figure" of the era prior to World War II.Hartley wrote that "Shigure’s work has been largely overlooked in English-language scholarship" and that this may have been due to a perception that she supported militaristic elements that existed in Japan before World War II.Her family members; second husband, Mikami Otokichi (?? ???); and good friends, including Onoe Kikugoro VI (??? ?? ???); all called her O-Yatchan.
