Natsume Soseki

Natsume Kinnosuke was born on 9 February 1867 in Edo. A graduate in English literature of the Imperial University of Tokyo in 1893, he taught in the provinces, notably in Matsuyama, before the government sent him to study in England in 1900. Having returned to teach at the University of Tokyo, he left it in 1907 to write full time, under contract with the daily Asahi Shimbun, which from then on published his novels in serial form. He signed Natsume Soseki, and died in Tokyo on 9 December 1916.
