dear Me’s interview series “Children’s Me and Adults’ Me” has begun!
This is a project in which we ask adults who are active in various fields, such as artists and artists of expression, about episodes from their childhood. We introduce how they came to terms with society, how they chose their current occupation, and how they would like to relate to children as adults in the future, and explore hints on how to relate to society in their own way.

The first interview is with writer Erika Kobayashi. Just as there are children of all colours, there are also many different ways of life and ways of being of the adults who support society. We asked Erika Kobayashi about her childhood and her thoughts on the future as an adult.
