Early lifeIwamatsu was born September 21, 1908, in Nejime, Kimotsuki District, Kagoshima, and raised there on the southern coast of Kyushu. His father was a country doctor who collected oriental art and encouraged art in his son. After studying for three years at the Imperial Art Academy in Tokyo, Iwamatsu became a successful illustrator and cartoonist. At one point both he and his wife Tomoe went to jail for his opposition to the militaristic government. In 1939, they went to the United States to study art, leaving behind their son Mako (born 1933). After Pearl Harbor, Iwamatsu joined the U.S. Army and went to work as an artist for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). It was then that he first used the pseudonym Taro Yashima, out of fear there would be repercussions for Mako and other family members if the Japanese government knew of his employment. After the war, he and his wife were granted permanent resident status by act of the U.S. Congress. Soon after they had their second child Momo while living in New York City. He was able to return to Japan and collect Mako in 1949. Career as illustratorThe New Sun, published in 1943 under the name Taro Yashima, was a 310-page autobiographical picture book for adults, about life in pre-war, statist Shōwa Japan. Its sequel, Horizon is Calling, published in 1947, was in the same format—usually one picture per page, with one or two lines of text. The 276-page tome continued the story of his life, this time with added Japanese text, and concluded with musings about leaving Japan to study art overseas. In both, he detailed his and Tomoe's maltreatment by the Japanese secret police.Yashima began writing and illustrating children's books early in the 1950s, under the pseudonym he had used in the OSS. The picture books Crow Boy (1956), Umbrella (1958), and Seashore Story (1967) were runners-up for the Caldecott Medal, later called Caldecott Honor Books. The annual award by professional librarians recognizes the illustrator of the "most distinguished American picture book for children".[8] Yashima returned to his home village of Nejime, visiting childhood classmates and familiar scenes that he depicted in several of his children's picture books. He and filmmaker Glenn Johnson produced a 26-minute documentary in 1971, hosted and narrated by Yashima, entitled Taro Yashima's Golden Village.[2] Published works
