Early life

Sakuragi was born in Kushiro, Hokkaido, Japan in 1965 to parents who owned and ran a local barbershop.[1] After graduating from high school she worked as an official court typist until she got married at the age of 24, then had her first child at age 27 before starting to write in her early 30s.[2][3]

Career

[edit]

She won the 2002 All Yomimono Prize for New Writers for her short story "Yukimushi" (雪虫, "Snow Bugs"), but her first book, a short story collection titled Hyōheisen (氷平線, Frozen Horizon), did not appear in print until 2007.[4] In 2010 her book Garasu no ashi (硝子の葦, Reed of Glass) was published by Shinchosha, which also published Raburesu (ラブレス, Loveless) the next year. Loveless won the 19th Shimase Award for Love Stories in 2012[5] and was nominated for the 146th Naoki Prize, but the prize went to Rin Hamuro.[6] Garasu no ashi was later adapted into a Wowow television drama starring Saki Aibu.[7] In 2012 Sakuragi's short story collection Kishūteneki Tāminaru (起終点駅 (ターミナル), Terminals) was published by Shogakukan. Kishūteneki Tāminaru was later adapted into the film Kishūteneki Terminal, which premiered at the 28th Tokyo International Film Festival.[8]

Sakuragi won the 149th Naoki Prize for her 2013 book Hoteru Rōyaru (ホテルローヤル, Hotel Royal), a set of stories told in reverse chronological order about a love hotel in her hometown of Kushiro, Hokkaido.[2][9] The short story collections Blues (ブルース, Burūsu) and Hoshiboshitachi (星々たち, Stars) were published in 2014, followed by the 2015 novels Uraru (, Mist) and Sore o ai towa yobazu (それを愛とは呼ばず, Don't Call That Love). In 2016 Sakuragi's novel Kōri no wadachi (氷の轍, Tracks in the Ice), about the investigation of an elderly man's death on a Hokkaido beach, was published by Shogakukan and adapted into a TV Asahi television movie starring Ko Shibasaki.[10] Her novel Sajō (砂上), a partly autobiographical story about a writer and editor, was published by Kadokawa Shoten in 2017.[11]
