STORY

This collection focuses largely on Tezuka Osamu's memories as a child. Tezuka Osamu's memories of his mother, an important figure who helped shape Tezuka Osamu's individuality in the early years, stand in contrast to the current state of collapse of the relationship between parents and children in modern society, and serves to point out to us what has gone wrong in our world. In these essays, Tezuka Osamu clearly exhorts us to directly expose our children to a host of different kinds of culture, whether it be the Takarazuka stage, Manga, the movies, etc., because it is these things that form the basis for our sensibilities and the scope of our horizons, becoming our true assets for the rest of our lives. And for today's junior high school students, who have everything they could possibly need-who "can't live" without their mobile phones-Tezuka Osamu's diary, written as a junior high school student during wartime, sends a powerful message on what it really means to "be alive." The elegant essays presented here are autobiographical, containing material recorded on a daily basis, first as Tezuka Osamu went out into the world and then as he became a father.
