Biography

Ozaki was the only son of Kokusai (尾崎 谷斎), a well-known netsuke carver in the Meiji period. He was educated at Tokyo Prefecture Middle School, and later Tokyo Imperial University. At university, he started publishing a literary magazine called 'Ken'yūsha' (Friend of the ink stone) in 1885 with his friends. Yamada Bimyo and Kawakami Bizan also had material published in the magazine.

Ozaki's most renowned works were The Usurer (金色夜叉 Konjiki Yasha?) (also known as The Golden Demon, which first appeared in 1887 in the Hakubunkan magazine Nihon Taika Ronshū (日本大家論集?, lit. Japan Expert Treatise Collection)) and Tajo Takon. His works mostly appeared in the Yomiuri Shimbun, the most popular newspaper in Japan. His pupil Izumi Kyōka continued to write in Ozaki's style.
