Isamu was the illegitimate son of Yone Noguchi, a Japanese poet, and Léonie Gilmour, an Irish American writer. Over his career Isamu was greatly influenced by the Japanese culture and its techniques. Leading him to do a lot of his work with traditional instruments earlier in his career. A lot of his artwork has a great deal of marks and imperfections that are meant to be shown. His work with enormous pieces of basalt and granite set him apart in the sculpture world as his pieces seemed to surpass anything that anyone else was doing in terms or hard stone carving.
