Yamashita was born in Hagi in 1901. She graduated from Nikaido Gymnasium in 1921, after which she worked as a teacher at Шаблон:Ill. After resigning due to a dispute with the principal over exams, she became a reporter for Шаблон:Ill. She married Etsuzo Yamashita and became manager of his Fuji Asbestos Industry company after he became ill.
