Biography

Yukako Hagiwara, a native of Hyōgo Prefecture, was born on 11 April 1911.[1][2] She graduated from Akashi Women's Normal School in 1931.[2] After graduating, she worked at an elementary and junior high school in Hyōgo Prefecture, and she served as principal of Ōhiro Elementary School and as director of social education of Hyōgo Prefectural Board of Education.[3][2]

Hagiwara joined the Democratic Socialist Party (DSP), and she served as the head of the Women's and Youth Bureau of the party's Hyogo Prefecture branch.[3] In the 1968 Japanese House of Councillors election, she ran as a DSP candidate from the Hyōgo at-large district and was elected.[4] However, she did not win re-election at the 1974 Japanese House of Councillors election,[5] and her bid for election to the Hyōgo 4th district in the 1976 Japanese general election was also unsuccessful.[6] In 1981, she was awarded the Order of the Precious Crown, Third Class.[7]

Hagiwara was also a writer. Among her publications are Yukako (幽香子, 1975), Donaishimahyo (どないしまひょ, 1977; lit. 'What should we do?'), Otto yukite (夫逝きて, 1981; lit. 'My husband passed away'), Kurashi o tsudzuru (暮らしをつづる, 1983; lit. 'Writing about life'), Nozomashī oya to wa (のぞましい親とは, 1984; lit. 'What are desirable parents?'), and Toki ni wa nogiku no gotoku toki ni wa himawari no yō ni (時には野菊の如く時には向日葵のように, 1993; lit. 'Sometimes like a wild chrysanthemum, sometimes like a sunflower').[8]

Hagiwara died on 10 October 2007 at the age of 96 due to acute respiratory failure.[9] On the day of her death, she was promoted to Senior Fifth Rank.[10]
