Daughter of 9 medical school waifs dismembers her mother…! The “reality” depicted by the author in the popular book, “The Curse of the Mother, the Prison of the Daughter
FRIDAY Digital obtained a portion of a memoir written by Akari to Mr. Saito, the author of this book. Akari’s handwriting is neat and neat, and her familiarity with writing is evident. The writing is clear and follows the structure of the book, and there is no sense of abnormality, such as “dismembering the mother. What kind of person is Akari?
-What was different about Akari from other defendants?
I think she had something to say. I knew before I met her that she must have something she wanted to say about this case as a human being. I don’t think I was able to understand everything she wanted to say through the interview, but I believe that she was interviewed because she wanted people to understand her situation and to make amends for the fact that she had denied the murder until after the first trial. I think she wanted to make amends for the fact that she had denied the murder until after the first trial.
-What was your reaction when you told her that you wanted to write a book about the interview?
At first, he was not at all enthusiastic. I think it took three to four months from the time I approached him to the time we conducted the interviews for publication. It was like he finally gave me permission after negotiating in various ways. Although she agreed to be interviewed, considering her life after her release from prison, there was no need to publish a book that would remain as a memento of her life. In that sense, it may be a little contradictory to what I said earlier, but I think she did not want to say everything about herself.
-This book describes the epic relationship between mother and daughter for about 30 years leading up to the incident, including nine years of medical school wandering. The mother forced her then 27-year-old daughter to get down on her knees in a winter garden and filmed her doing so, and she pretended to be her daughter and wrote letters to relatives……. The mother repeatedly behaved in a manner that was, to all intents and purposes, abnormal. In her trial statement, Akari went so far as to state, “I am convinced to this day that if either I or my mother had not died, [this relationship] would not have ended. What was the initial stumbling block that led the daughter and her mother to be trapped in this kind of bizarre relationship and situation?
I don’t think there was a definitive stumbling block or turning point. I also asked, “Why did the mother and daughter have such a simmering relationship?” and I started the interview because I wanted to know why. However, when I pieced together what I had collected, I found that there was no definitive turning point, such as a change in the mother’s personality at a certain point in her life. So, I wrote the story without any particular plot points or forced rationales. When I finished writing the whole book, I was concerned that the content, although true, would be redundant and boring to the reader. I was concerned that it might be too verbose and boring for readers, even though it was true. But what is written here is the undeniable truth, and I can’t flesh it out any further. There is no definitive event, but I think one answer to this piece is that a mother and daughter had a difficult time.
