A novelist can’t be without a kimono and pen! ( Shigure)

Natsuki Takaya
About This Quote

In Japan, a novelist cannot be without a kimono and pen. In other words, a writer needs to keep alert of the world around him. He has to keep his mind open. He does not just sit in a room and write something.

He must know the world and how it works. This is what makes him a writer.
