引用
-
I expected it would become a cuter love story.
出典: Interview in Weekly Asahi (2019) (2019年) -
I had used 'takkyūbin' without knowing it was a registered trademark, but the issue was eventually resolved.
出典: Lecture (Founding commemorative lecture of the Human Sciences Society) (2008年)
豆知識
- The word 'takkyūbin' in the title of Kiki's Delivery Service is a registered trademark of Yamato Transport; this caused a dispute at publication which was later resolved.
- In 1959 she moved to Brazil as an emigrant at her husband's request; that stay later became material for her debut.
- Her daughter, Mario Kuboshi (Kubo Shimario), is also a writer.
