Ogawa Mimei (1882-1961): novelist, vitalist, and the father of Japanese fairytale literature (Japan's answer to Hans Christian Andersen). Mimei was born in 1882, in Takada, Kubiki County, Niigata Prefecture and lived there until he went to junior high school. His fairytales all reflect a romanticism and a love of the somewhat unforgiving natural environment of the area. One of his most famous tales is "The Mermaid and the Red Candles".
