early life of Noguchi
despite being born in the United States, Noguchi lived in Japan until the age of 13 years before moving to Indiana. Following the encouragement and financial assistance of Dr. Edward Rumely (something of a benefactor), he enrolled in pre-medicine at Columbia University in New York in 1922, but took night classes at da Vinci Art School Leonardo. There he deeply impressed the school head, which allowed Noguchi to put on his first exhibition in plaster and terracotta only three months after the start of classes. Shortly after, Noguchi dropped out of Columbia to pursue a career in the arts.
