Timeline

Ineko Sata (佐多 稲子), also Ineko Kubokawa (窪川稲子), born Ine Sata (佐田 イネ), was a Japanese writer closely connected to the Proletarian Literature Movement.

An advocate of women's rights, she has also repeatedly been linked to the feminist movement.

Born in Nagasaki to young, unmarried parents (her father was 18, her mother 15), the family moved to Tokyo while she was still a child.

Her first job was in a Caramel factory, but she later went on to work in restaurants where she befriended several writers, including Ryūnosuke Akutagawa.

1922

In 1922, her poems were published for the first time in the magazine Shi to jinsei ("Poetry and life").

Working at the Koroku café-bar in Hongo near Tokyo University, she met Shigeharu Nakano, who would remain a lifelong friend.

Along with left-wing writers Tatsuo Hori and Tsurujirō Kubokawa, Nakano ran the progressive literary magazine Roba ("Donkey").

1928

Nakano urged Sata to write her first short story, Kyarameru kōjō kara ("From the Caramel Factory"), which was based on her own experiences and published in 1928.

1929

In 1929, she spoke out against the treatment of women workers in cigarette factories.

1931

In 1931, she defended the striking workers of the Tokyo Muslin Factory.

As a member of the Proletarian Literature Movement, she wrote a series of stories about the lives of ordinary working men and women.

These included Kyosei kikoku ("Compulsory Extradition"), about the rights of migrant Korean workers, and Tears of a Factory Girl in the Union Leadership (Kanbu joko no namida), both published in 1931.

1932

In 1932, she joined the outlawed Japan Communist Party (JCP).

1935

In 1935, she was arrested for anti-war activism and spent two months in jail.

1936

This experience is described in part in her 1936–38 novel Crimson (Kurenai), a fictionalised account of her marriage and the struggles of being a mother, wife and professional writer.

1940

Taking her second husband Tsurujirō Kubokawa's family name and slightly modifying her first name, she published her work as Ineko Kubokawa until around 1940.

While praised by writers like Yasunari Kawabata for drawing on modernist literary techniques, Sata became increasing involved in issues related to workers and the labor movement.

By 1940, Sata, like Fumiko Hayashi, eventually collaborated with the authorities, publishing both diaries of her travels in Korea and Manchuria and "home front" stories in support of the Japanese war effort, for which she later faced criticism by former associates.

1945

She became close to JCP leaders Kenji Miyamoto and Takiji Kobayashi, the former imprisoned until 1945, the latter tortured to death by police in 1933.

Sata's strong opinions were also often at odds with the official Communist Party platform.

In 1945, with the end of the Pacific War, she divorced her husband Kubokawa.

1946

In 1946, she rejoined the JCP, although, as before, she often voiced vehement criticism of the party.

Also in 1946, she was one of the founding members of the Women's Democratic Club, along socialist politician Shizue Katō and intellectuals like Setsuko Hani and Yuriko Miyamoto.

Her wartime experiences were the subject of Watashi no Tōkyō chizu ("My Tokyo Map"), which was written between 1946 and 1948.

1953

1953 saw the first post-war reprint of Crimson, which was received favourably by critics.

1954

In 1954, she wrote Kikai no naka no seishun ("Youth among the Machines").

1958

The first collection of her works was issued in 15 volumes in 1958–59.

1960

Most of Sata's work was translated into Russian in the 1960s and 1970s, and selected stories have been translated into French and German.

1963

She would write Onna no yado ("Women's Lodgings") in 1963 and Omoki nagare ni ("On a Heavy Tide") in 1968–69.

1964

By 1964, Sata had rejoined the JCP after yet another expulsion.

Her activities in the Women's Democratic Club, judged divisive from the perspective of the party mainstream, again led to her expulsion from the JCP.

In Keiryu (1964), Sata portrayed the party's internal conflicts.

1972

Sata was awarded the Noma Literary Prize in 1972 for her book Juei ("The Shade of Trees"), which deals with the relationships between Chinese and Japanese people in Nagasaki after the dropping of the atomic bomb, and the (fictionalised) biography of painter Kiyoshi Ikeno (1930–1960), which had already served as basis for her 1961 short story The Colorless Paintings.

1973

In 1973, she was offered the Geijutsuin Onshi-shō (Imperial Art Academy Prize) for her life's work, but she refused the award as she regarded it as a nationalist congratulation prize.

1976

She accepted the 1976 Kawabata Yasunari Literature Award for one of the stories in her short story collection Toki ni tatsu.

1979

Her book about Nakano (who had died in 1979), Natsu no Shiori – Nakano Shigeharu o okuru ("Memories of Summer – a Farewell to Shigeharu Nakano"), was awarded the Mainichi Art Award in 1983.

1983

In 1983, Sata received the Asahi Prize for the entire body of her work.

She gave an acceptance speech which expressed regret for her contributions to the war effort.

1998

Ineko Sata died in Tokyo in 1998.

The year refers to the first publication.
