Why Is Shūzō Kuki Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Shūzō Kuki was a Japanese art critic, philosopher, and poet. Early life Kuki was the fourth child of Baron Kuki Ryūichi a high bureaucrat in the Meiji Ministry for Culture and Education . Since it appears that Kuki's mother, Hatsu, was already pregnant when she fell in love with Okakura Kakuzō , otherwise known as Okakura Tenshin , a protégé of her husband's , the rumour that Okakura was Kuki's father would appear to be groundless. It is true, however, that Shūzō as a child, after his mother had separated and then divorced his father, thought of Okakura, who often visited, as his real father, and later certainly hailed him as his spiritual father. From Okakura, he gained much of his fascination for aesthetics and perhaps foreign languages, as indeed his fascination with the peculiar cultural codes of the pleasure quarters of Japan owes something to the fact that his mother had once been a geisha.
