**"A master of poetry who nurtures children's hearts"**
Michio Mado was a Japanese poet and lyricist. The source of his creative drive, which led him to write poetry throughout his life, was his dissatisfaction with politics and war. Many of his works, such as the famous nursery rhymes "Zou-san" (Elephant) and "Yagisan Yubin" (Goat Mail), were born from this relaxed and humorous world. Known as "the poet of existence," his expressions evoked previous generations while also engaging with the new.
**Career and Representative Works**
Born in Tokuyama City, Yamaguchi Prefecture (now Shunan City). He began publishing poetry and nursery rhymes while living with his grandfather in Taiwan. In 1934, he submitted a nursery rhyme to the magazine "Kodomo no Kuni" and won a special selection, which led him to seriously dedicate himself to poetry. After returning to Japan post-war, he worked at a publishing company but resigned in 1959 to become a freelance poet.
