Work Information

A novel about the silences that remain between long-married partners and the affection that still endures.

Hanryo was published by Shinchosha and received the Art Encouragement Prize for New Artists. Rather than relying on dramatic events, it follows the emotional shades of family and marriage, using Iwahashi's restrained prose to explore the weight of living alongside another person.
