Yokohama series


Waki Yamato - 2007
    The two girls become very close and attend Cimons private school. Set in the Meiji era, Yamato captures the feeling of change which swept the nation by following the lives and frienship of two girls in this era. One comes from a poor family while the other is wealthy; one was quiet while the other was vivacious. In many ways it was a study of contrast on how people reacted against change. Like her previous work set during this era, Yamato explores how the Japanese people reacted against change. It's funny how when you read most history books, it's usually from the western visitor's perception on how the Japanese are taking in the changes, and not the other way around.
