Biography
Jun Watanabe was born in Fukushima Prefecture in June 1913. After losing his parents, he moved to Manchuria with his brother at the age of seven. He graduated from the Dalian Manchuria Railway Training School and began working in the accounting department of the Manchuria Railway Company in 1930. After two years with the railway company, he joined the staff of Sakubun, a literary magazine written by railroad employees. Akihara began authoring articles in 1936. The magazine's 55th and final edition was published in December 1942.
Akihara returned to Japan in the mid-1940s, eventually settling in Tokyo. In 1964, he re-established Sakubun, which began publishing new issues twice a year. He served as the magazine's publisher until his death in 2015, releasing its final issue (volume 208) that same year. Sakubun ceased publication shortly thereafter.
As a writer, Akihara is best remembered for his essay “Hometown Lost” (故郷 喪失, Kokyō sōshitsu), which explores themes of family loss and rural poverty in Japan. Originally published in a 1937 issue of Sakubun, it reached a broader audience through the second edition of The Manchuria Year Book.
