Satoko Kizaki (born 1939) is a Japanese novelist born in Xinjing, the capital of the former Japanese-controlled state of Manchukuo. After graduating from Tokyo Woman’s Christian University Junior College, she married in 1962 and spent more than a decade living in France and the United States before returning to Japan in 1979. She made her literary debut the following year when “Hadashi” received the Bungakukai Prize for New Writers. Her fiction has addressed women’s experiences abroad, family relationships, memories of home, aging, death, and Christian faith. She received the Akutagawa Prize in 1984 for “Aogiri.” The novella follows a woman caring for an aunt who has breast cancer but refuses medical treatment, while relatives gather at their declining ancestral home in the Hokuriku region. The aunt’s failing body and the fading household are set against the vigorous growth of an aogiri tree in the garden.
