Yōko Ōta was a Japanese author of Atomic bomb literature.
After graduating high school she worked as a primary school teacher and took various secretarial jobs, moving frequently among Tokyo, Osaka, and Hiroshima.
On the invitation of Kan Kikuchi, she came to Tokyo in 1926, where she began to work as a magazine reporter.
Whilst working as a waitress in Osaka she began to write serious fiction, in around 1929.
Nothing really felt natural to her. Her mother is a housewife and she has a younger sister. Yuko excelled scholastically and attended “Nagoya City University”, where she received a Ph.D. The first books I remember reading to myself that I really loved were the Nate the Great stories by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat.
What’s your favorite line from a book?
“He told me that once he forgot himself & his heart opened up like a door with a loose latch & everything fell out & he tried for days to put it all back in the proper order, but finally he gave up & left it there in a pile & loved everything equally.” —Going Somewhere Soon by Brian Andreas
Who are your top three favorite authors or illustrators?
Wow, this is difficult!

3.) J. W. Waterhouse: A Victorian-era painter who primarily did work based off Greek and Arthurian mythology. Ōta died suddenly of a heart attack in 1963, whilst bathing in a hot spring in Inawashiro, Fukushima.
Achievements
In 1940, Sakura no kuni (“The Cherry Land”) was awarded a prize by the Asahi newspaper, and received considerable public acclaim.
She also read and was influenced by Tolstoi. Larry’s knowledge of dancing was unimaginable and she only scratched the surface of the depth of his expertise. It’s so hard to choose…
1.) Jeff Smith: The writer and illustrator of Bone, Shazam, and recently, RASL. He’s a fantastic storyteller and writer!She met a Japanese woman there who took her
to a dance party and pushed into the arms of a young good-looking dance instructor.Yuko Ota
What was your favorite book when you were a child?
My mom was a librarian when I was growing up, so I had a LOT of books that I liked. Receiving her early training from such a great dancer and teacher gave her a solid foundation. He has a way of getting anyone to dance beautifully and musically and she feels she is learning to dance more beautifully than ever before.
She considers herself very lucky to have had these three exceptional coaches and to have received such great training for more than 25 years. In general, the more she understands dancing, the happier she feels.
I have a large library of his work, and was recently able to visit his museum while visiting Japan.
