samu
(

< br>. But, Dazai Osamu is his pen
name.
His autonym is
Tsushima
Shūji
（津岛修治

He is the most eminent
representative of Japanese rascal faction
literature.
Dazai Osamu is
a famous writer who enjoy the same reputation as
Yasunari

Then,
I will give a bref introduction of his lifetimes.
He was borned in a wealthy landowner’s
family in 1909 at
Aomori Prefecture
(
青森
)and died in
1948 at Tokyo Mitaka
（东京三鹰）
.
Dazai's
father
was a polician into the House of
Peers. So
Dazai's
father
absent
during much of his early childhood, and
his mother died early,thus Dazai was brought
up mostly by the family's servants.
The most knowned
keyword of his life is calles him the
died
most Japanese writer.
December 10, 1929, first
suicide attempt, but survived.
Because
in
1927,
the
writer
Ryūnosuke
Akutagawa
committed
suicide
which
shocked
him
a
ma
started
to
dabble
with
Marxism,which
at
the
time
was
heavily
suppressed
by
the
government.
He
frequently
expressed
guilt
in
his
earliest
writings about
having been born into an incorrect social class.
So disappointed was he. Then he choosed
death, but survived.

1930,
Tsushima
ran
away
with
a geisha
（艺妓）
named
Hatsuyo
Oyama
(
小山初代）
and
was
formally
expelled
from
his
family.
Nine
days
after
the
expulsion,

drowning
off
a
beach
in
Kamakura with
another woman,
19-year-old bar hostess Shimeko
Tanabe
田部目津子
. Shimeko died,
but Tsushima lived.
In 1935, he tried his third time
suicide. At that time, it started to become clear
to
Dazai that he would not graduate,
and he failed to obtain a job at a Tokyo newspaper
as well. He finished
The
Final Years
, which was intended to be
his farewell
告别
to
the world, and tried to hang himself
March 19, 1935, failing yet again.
In
1931, he finally married with Hatsuyo
Oyama.

1936,
Dazai
took sleeping
pills
with
his wife due to
her betrayal
during his
illness, but neither one died, so he
divorced her.
