Isamu Noguchi is an incredibly notable 20th century artist, and quite
possibly one of the most influential Japanese sculptors of our time. Born
in Los Angeles, California, Noguchi was surrounded by artistic influence
from a young age. His father, Yonejiro Noguchi, was a Japanese poet, while
his mother, Leonie Gilmour, was an America writer. Born on November 17,
1904, at the age of two Noguchi relocated from California to Japan where
his father continued to reside. After relocating within Japan several

skills he would later use in his sculptures. A few years later, he began
attending Saint Joseph’s College in Tokohama where his family joined him.

school would be closed during the war, during which time his friendship
with the founder of the school, Dr. Edward Rumely, would begin. Dr. Rumely
would place Noguchi in the home of Dr. Samuel Mack, a Swedenborgian
minister, who lived in La Porte, Indiana where Noguchi would then attend
high school. By 1922, Noguchi would graduate with a high school diploma
from La Porte High School. Dr. Rumely then found Noguchi an apprenticeship
with Gutzon Borglum, a sculptor from Connecticut, with whom Noguchi
furthered his interest in sculpting. Dr. Rumely also raised money to pay
for Noguchi’s tuition to Columbia University in New York, where he was to
study medicine. When his parents moved back to America in 1927, they
encouraged him to take a sculpture class at the Leonardo da Vinci Art
school, and within three months the head of this school gave him his first
