description: "Katayama Hiroko was a Japanese poet and translator. She did many translations of Irish writers under the pseudonym Matsumura Mineko. Her husband was a noted bureaucrat. She reportedly took her pseudonym from a name she saw on a child's umbrella. She maintained a friendship with Ryūnosuke Akutagawa and he reportedly said of her \"Finally I have met a woman who can be called my equal in the arena of words.\" She also acted as a mentor to Muraoka Hanako who is known in Japan for translating Anne of Green Gables."
