Early Life
Yoshino was born in Takasaki city, Gumma prefecture. He enrolled in Keio University's school of Economics, but was forced to quit school when he developed tuberculosis. He relocated from Tokyo to Kamakura in Kanagawa prefecture in 1911, due to its reputation as a healthful environment for people with lung conditions.
While recuperating, he became familiar with the verses of Masaoka Shiki and Itō Sachio, two poets in the Araragi tanka group, and he began to compose verses himself. He was also attracted to the works of Aizu Yaichi and eventually became his pupil.
