Gonnoské Komai (Japanese: 駒井権之助, romanized: Komai Gonnosuke; 1874[1] – 1956[2]) was a Japanese poet, artist, and war correspondent,[3] who became well-known in England.[4][5] Once in Britain, he wrote and lectured regularly on Japanese subjects, with one contemporary describing Komai as being 'unrivalled' among 'modern interpreters of Japan.'[6] Komai was noted for continuing to wear his native dress throughout his life in England.[7][8]
