辻井 喬（つじい たかし、1927年–2013年）は、日本の詩人、小説家。本名は堤 清二。実業家として西武百貨店やセゾングループを率いる一方、辻井喬の筆名で創作を続け、企業経営者としての自己と文学者としての自己の葛藤を作品に刻んだ。『いつもと同じ春』では、百貨店経営の激しい競争に身を置く主人公を通して、組織を動かす責任と個人の自由への渇望を描き、平林たい子文学賞を受賞。谷崎潤一郎賞を受賞した『虹の岬』では、歌人・川田順の晩年の恋を昭和史のなかに位置づけ、社会的立場と抑えがたい感情の対立を描いた。野間文芸賞受賞作『父の肖像』では、父・堤康次郎との確執を軸に、家族、権力、戦後日本の政財界を検証した。詩集『異邦人』『群青、わが黙示』などでも、組織に属しながら孤独を抱える個人の内面を見つめ続けた。

Tsujii Takashi (1927–2013) was a Japanese poet and novelist whose real name was Tsutsumi Seiji. While leading Seibu Department Stores and the Saison Group as a prominent business executive, he continued writing under his pen name, exploring the tension between his public responsibilities and his private literary identity. “Itsumo to Onaji Haru,” which received the Hirabayashi Taiko Literary Prize, portrays a department-store executive caught between the demands of competition and a longing for personal freedom. In “Niji no Misaki,” winner of the Tanizaki Junichiro Prize, Tsujii places poet Kawada Jun’s late-life love affair within the broader history of the Showa era, examining the conflict between social position and private emotion. “Chichi no Shozo,” which received the Noma Literary Prize, confronts his difficult relationship with his father, businessman and politician Tsutsumi Yasujiro, while tracing the connections among family, power, and postwar Japanese society. His poetry likewise gave voice to the loneliness of an individual living within large organizations.
