My Picture Diary Av Fujiwara Maki, Ryan Holmberg

<p><b>The wife of Japan¿s most lauded manga-ka documents a year in their lives with her own artistry.<br><br></b>In 1981, Fujiwara Maki began a picture diary about daily life with her son and husband, the legendary manga author Tsuge Yoshiharu. Publishing was not her original intention. ¿I wanted to record our family¿s daily life while our son, Shosuke, was small. But as 8mm cameras were too expensive and we were poor, I decided on the picture diary format instead. I figured Shosuke would enjoy reading it when he got older.¿<br><br>Drawn in a simple, personable style, and covering the same years fictionalized in Tsuge¿s final masterpiece <i>The Man Without Talent</i>, Fujiwara¿s journal focuses on the joys of daily life amidst the stresses of childrearing, housekeeping, and managing a depressed husband. A touching and inspiring testimony of one Japanese woman''s resilience, <i>My Picture Diary</i> is also an important glimpse of the enigma that is Tsuge. Fujiwara¿s diary is unsparing.
