Description
A year in the life of a Japanese family is documented through simple yet personal drawings. In 1981, Fujiwara Maki began a picture diary to record her daily life with her husband and young son. She initially intended it as a way to preserve memories for her child, but the project evolved into a unique glimpse into their household dynamics. The diary reveals the challenges of balancing domestic responsibilities with the stresses of caring for a depressed husband. Despite these difficulties, Fujiwara's artwork shows a remarkable sense of empathy and understanding towards her husband's struggles. This edition provides insight into Fujiwara's own life, artistic pursuits, and influence on her husband's work. Translated by Ryan Holmberg, this book offers a rare perspective on the life of a Japanese woman and her relationship with a celebrated manga author.
