Naoko Anbo talks about creation 5 Naoko Anfang answers students' questions ——Excerpt from a lecture given by Naoko Anfang at the Junior High School Affiliated to Japan Women’s University on June 17, 1991 Student: Why did Mr. An Fang tell others about his imagination? An Fang: I think, isn’t this the case for all people?Don't you say "Look! Look" when you see something very beautiful?Do you still remember?In the past, when I saw a beautiful semicircular rainbow appearing in the sky on the road, I always ran home and shouted: "The rainbow is out, look!" I thought, what do people think of when they see beautiful things? When something good happens, not only do you want to keep it for yourself quietly, but you also want everyone to see it, and then be moved and happy together. Is it out of human instinct?

So, if I think of a very interesting story, I can put it in the drawer, but I can't help but say: "Listen! Listen!" So I wrote it and published it. Student: Among your own works, which one is your favourite? Anfang: My favorite is the collection of fairy tales including "The Flounder of the Sea Pavilion" mentioned by the husband who introduced me just now. Student: Where did Mr. An Fang write his fairy tales? An Fang: I often write in the kitchen.Like everyone’s mother, I have children and I have to cook every day. Although I have a table, the kitchen table is the most suitable for me. I write while simmering and watching the fire.I can write anywhere as long as I can't hear the noise.
