Why did you want to depict Kiki as a mother in volume six? But not many people are aware of how many volumes there are. Now after around 27 years of writing, there are six volumes in the series. When people told me they wanted the story to continue, I wrote a sequel. That’s because I believe stories which begin after a tale’s end belong to the reader. Only the first volume had been written when Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki created the film adaptation, and I hadn’t yet thought of what would come next. Kadono: That’s because Kiki herself becomes a mother in volume six. But now I read the story from the perspective of Kiki’s mother, Kokiri.
When I was younger, I related to Kiki and felt like I was growing up with her. We had to cross three seas to get there -a route that no longer exits.
I still love to travel, but going to Brazil was something else. When I departed to Brazil, I had the same feelings as Kiki. Kadono: Kiki and I have some things in common. It reminds me of the scene in Kiki’s Delivery Service where Kiki leaves her parents’ side to depart on a journey as she compares her feelings to the excitement of opening a gift. Although your father was concerned about the decision, you were very excited about heading to uncharted territory. In 1959, when you were 25, you and your husband suddenly moved to Brazil. After graduating university, you found employment at a publisher and then got married. #2 As She Developed the Story, Two Thoughts Inspired Kadono to Depict Kiki as a Mother
