中文简介：

日本知名漫画家柘植义春（Tsuge Yoshiharu）的妻子Fujiwara Maki用自己的艺术作品记录了他们一年的生活。

1981年，Fujiwara Maki开始以图片日记的形式记录与儿子和丈夫、传奇漫画作家柘植义春的日常生活。出版并非她的初衷。出版并不是她蕞初的意图。“我想在儿子小的时候记录我们家庭的日常生活。但是8毫米摄像机太贵了，而且我们很穷，所以我决定采用图片日记的形式。我想到等儿子长大后会喜欢读它。”

Fujiwara的日记以简洁、媇切的风格描绘了柘植蕞后的代表作《无才之人》（The Man Without Talent）中虚构的那些年，重点描写了在养育孩子、料理家务和管理抑郁的丈夫等压力下的日常生活乐趣。这本书是一位日本女性坚韧不拔的感人至深的励志见证，也是对柘植这个谜团的重要一瞥。Fujiwara的日记毫不留情地揭示了柘植家中的性别鸿沟：柘植一觉睡到中午，几乎什么也不做。他从不称赞Fujiwara的厨艺，并对如何花钱指手画脚。他从未有一次展示自己在画画。然而奇怪的是，Fujiwara对她善变的丈夫仍然充满同情。

本版本由瑞安·霍姆伯格（Ryan Holmberg）翻译，揭示了Fujiwara的生平，她自己的艺术、写作和地下戏剧生涯，以及她对丈夫着茗漫画的广泛影响。

英文简介：

The wife of Japan’s most lauded manga-ka documents a year in their lives with her own artistry.

In 1981, Fujiwara Maki began a picture diary about daily life with her son and husdand, the legendary manga author Tsuge Yoshiharu. Publishing was not her original intention. “I wanted to record our family’s daily life while our son, Shosuke, was small. But as 8mm cameras were too expensive and we were poor, I decided on the picture diary format instead. I figured Shosuke would enjoy reading it when he got older.”

Drawn in a simple, personable style, and covering the same years fictionalized in Tsuge’s final masterpiece The Man Without Talent, Fujiwara’s journal focuses on the joys of daily life amidst the stresses of childrearing, housekeeping, and managing a depressed husdand. A touching and inspiring testimony of one Japanese woman's resilience, My Picture Diary is also an important glimpse of the enigma that is Tsuge. Fujiwara’s diary is unsparing. It provides a stark picture of the gender divide in their household: Tsuge sleeps until noon and does practically nothing. He never compliments her cooking, and dictates how money is spent. Not once is he shown drawing. And yet Fujiwara remains surprisingly empathetic toward her mercurial husdand.

Translated by Ryan Holmberg, this edition sheds light on Fujiwara's life, her own career in art, writing, and underground theater, and her extensive influence upon her husdand's celebrated manga.
