Life

Miyoshi was impressed as a youth by the writings of Turgenev and Nietzsche and began to write verses first under the influence of the poet Maruyama Kaoru.

He went to Tokyo, where he studied French literature at the University. During this time he published the magazine Aozora with Kajii Motojiro and Nakatani Takao. Here he published his first poems with success, which aroused the attention of the literary critic Hagiwara Sakutaro. With this he founded in 1928 the literary-critical journal Shi to Shiron, where he alongside its own verse translations, including the entire collection Le Spleen de Paris by Charles Baudelaire (1929 ), published.

Miyoshis first volume of poetry appeared Sokuryo sen 1930. Starting in 1934, he was with Hori Tatsuo Maruyama Kaoru and the second row of the journal Shiki out to be the authors collected, combined the classical Japanese literature with contemporary European influences.

In addition to other volumes of poetry Miyoshi published a collection of essays ( Yoru tantan ) and a portrait of the poet Hagiwara Sakutaro.
