Shuji Terayama (寺山 修司, Terayama
Shūji?, December 10, 1935—May 4, 1983) was
an avant-garde Japanese poet, dramatist,
writer, director, and photographer. He was
one of the most productive and provocative
creative artists from Japan. He was born
December 10, 1935, the only son Terayama
Hachiro and Terayama Hatsu in Hirosaki City
in the northern Japanese prefecture of
Aomori. His father was said to have died at
the end of Pacific War in Indonesia in
September of 1945. At the age of nine, his
mother moved to Kyūshū to work at an
American military base while he himself went
to live with relatives in the city of Misawa,
also in Aomori. At this same time, Terayama
lived through the Aomori air raids that
killed more than 30,000 people.
Terayama entered Aomori Prefectural High
School in 1951, and in 1954 went to
prestigious Waseda University's Faculty of
Education to study Japanese language and
literature. However, he soon dropped out
because he fell ill with nephrotic syndrome.
He received his education through working in
bars in Shinjuku. His oeuvre consists of a
number of essays claiming that more can be
learned about life through boxing and horse
racing than by attending school and studying
hard. Accordingly, he was one of the central
figures of the "runaway" movement in Japan in
the late 1960s, as depicted in his book,
play, and film "Throw Away Your Books, Run
into the Streets!
(書を捨てよ、町へ出よう）".
In 1967, Terayama formed the Tenjō Sajiki
(天井桟敷）theater troupe, whose name
comes from the Japanese translation of the
1945 Marcel Carné film "Les Enfants du
Paradis", so can be translated as "children
of heaven", though it has a meaning similar
to the English expression "The Peanut
Gallery". The troupe was dedicated to the
avant-garde and staged a number of
controversial plays tackling social issues
from an iconoclastic perspective. Some major
plays include "Bluebeard" (青ひげ ),
"Yes"（イエス）, and "The Crime of Fatso
Oyama"（大山デブコの犯罪）, among
others. Also involved with the theater was
artist Tadanori Yokoo (横尾忠則), who
designed many of the advertisement posters
for the group. Musically, he worked closely
with experimental composer J.A. Seazer and
folk musician Kan Mikami.
He was also involved in poetry and at 18 was
the second winner of the Tanka Studies Award.
Terayama experimented with 'city plays', a
fantastical satire of civic life.
Also in 1967, Terayama started an
experimental cinema and gallery called
'Universal Gravitation,' which is in fact
still in existence at Misawa as a resource
center. The Terayama Shuji Memorial Hall,
which has a large collection of his plays,
novels, poetry, photography and a great
number of his personal affects and relics
from his theatre productions, can also be
found in Misawa.
Terayama published almost 200 literary works,
and over 20 short and full-length films.
He was married to Tenjo Sajiki co-founder
Kyoko Kujo （九條今日子）, but they
later divorced, although they continued to
work together until Terayama's death on May
4, 1983 from cirrhosis of the liver.
