February Small Spring

This is a journal about late Masako Ito publicly known as Kisaragi Koharu.

She was born on Feb/19/1956, and died on Dec/19/2000. She was 44 at the time of her death. The cause of her death was Hypothalamus haemorrhage. She had a history of diet disorder in her 20s, the weight just before her death was believed to be less than 30kg, anyway..

Apparently she was a shinning star of our times. She was five years senior to me, and known to me as one of distinguished writer/commentator of play and playwright herself.

I noticed her talent long (4 or 5 years) before her death. Of course I regret her too early death, the feeling was not only for me.

5 years have passed after she passed away, nothing changed in Japan's cultural scene so far. We have no geniuses at the same time at least in the field of play.
