Description:
Aiko Miyawaki: Documents from an Artist's Life. "People tell me that I'm not at all a typical Japanese woman. I laugh and I think of my free-spirited mother and radical father...so radical in fact, that he was in prison for protesting a landfill project when I was born. He was an anarchist, a pacifist. My mother came from an old proud family in Izu. Her ancestors were the Saiwa Genji; we grew up before the war, in a big house in Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture with many servants. My mother always spoke her opinion and encouraged those around her to develop their talents. Even one of her housekeepers became a calligraphy teacher. As for me, when I grew up I wanted to be a writer like the Heian essayist Sei Shonagon. Japan has such a long tradition of women intellectuals, and it seemed perfectly natural that I would be one myself." Aiko continues to describe life during WWII and afterwards how she concentrated on her career.
