Timeline
Funahashi died of acute myocardial infarction at the Nippon Medical School Hospital in Tokyo in 1976 at the age of 71, leaving behind two unfinished works, Taikō Hideyoshi, serialized by Yomiuri Shimbun, and Genji Monogatari serialized by the Heibonsha magazine Taiyo.
However, from 1966, the increasing deterioration of his eyesight led to near blindness, and Funahashi resorted to dictation in order to continue his literary activities. In 1967 he was awarded the Noma Award for Sukina onna no munakazari (好きな女の胸飾り). Long a proponent of sumo wrestling, and a member of the Sumo Promotion Council, he was chairman in 1969. In 1975, Funahashi was named a Person of Cultural Merit by the Japanese government.
Funahashi worked as a lecturer at Takushoku University and from 1938 at Meiji University. In 1948, he became chairman of the Japan Writer’s Association, and became a member of the Akutagawa Prize selection committee in 1949. He was selected as a member of the National Language Policy Board of the Ministry of Education in 1950. His 1953 novel, Hana no Shogai (花の生涯) about the life of Bakumatsu period official Ii Naosuke was adapted for television as the first NHK taiga drama. In 1964, Funahashi was awarded the Mainichi Art Award for Aru onna no enkei ( ある女の遠景 ). He became a member of the Japan Art Academy in 1966.
His first novel Daibingu ("Diving") was published in 1934, serialized in the magazine Kōdō ("Action!"), which he also helped create. Kōdō (published from 1934-1936) spoke out for liberalism, internationalism and modernism in opposition to the ultranationalism which swept Japan in the 1930s. Inspired by André Gide and Andre Malraux, Funahashi hoped to create a popular front movement among writers; however, the movement soon faded into obscurity. By 1940, Funahashi had joined the government-sponsored Literary Home Front Drive (Bungei Jugō Undō) along with 43 other prominent writers, and created works in support of the war effort.
Seiichi Funahashi (舟橋聖一, Funahashi Seiichi, 25 December 1904 – 13 January 1976), also romanised Seiichi Funabashi, was a Japanese writer of short stories, novellas, novels and stage plays, active in the Shōwa period.
