'Yasushi Inoue' (井上 靖 ''Inoue Yasushi'', May 6, 1907 – January 29, 1991) was a Japanese writer whose range of genres included poetry, essays, short fiction, and novels.
Although often remembered for his serious historical fiction of ancient Japan and the Asian continent, Inoue's work also included semi-autobiographical novels and short fiction of great humor, pathos, and wisdom like ''Shirobamba'' and ''Asunaro Monogatari'', which depicted the setting of the author's own life--Japan of the early to mid twentieth century--in revealing perspective.
