-HEAR THE WIND SING-

~On being famous~




He is a popular writer in the world
 including Korea, China, the U.S., and Europe.
He was born in Kyoto in 1949.
After graduating from Waseda University,
he ran a jazz bar called "Peter Cat".
His works has been translated into 34 languages.






I'm fond of reading his books because I have learnt somthing
precious in my life from his novels. Just my comprehesion, indeed, but
reading his books and listening his words,
I just feel like he makes me encouraging without getting my way.






Let me introduce his words...

    "Everything passes. Nobody gets for keeps. And that's how we've got to live."   
    "All men are not created equall."
    "For me, writing is extremely hard work. There are times when it takes me a whole month just to write one line. Other times
      I'll write three days and nights straight through, only to have it come out all wrong. Nonetheless, writing can also be fun. Compared to the                         sheer difficulty of living, the process of attaching meanings to life is altogether clear sailing. "
