Daiwa Shobo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo; Representative Director: Satoshi Daiwa) will release "Is That Love?" (Author: Chiyo Uno) on July 8, 2026.

The truth behind a glamorous love life: married 4 times, divorced 4 times!

Loved, then parted. Wrote novels. Created beautiful kimonos. Chiyo Uno's private life was as dramatic as her public one.

* Only seeing her own love affairs

* Instinctive in choosing men

* Preferring some difficulty

* What I did using a breakup as an excuse

* Just try stumbling a little

* Precisely because I did whatever I wanted

...A magnificent woman's life, blooming her "flower of happiness" through a positive way of living!

Chiyo Uno's theories on love, from the original "interesting woman," are here in abundance! While she says it's best to gracefully withdraw when a lover's feelings cool, she also states that it's important to act with "vitality," even if one commits a misdeed. I want to be swept away by her thinking! --Recommended by Risa Wataya!

Author Biography

Chiyo Uno (Uno Chiyo)

Born in Yokoyama Village, Kuga District, Yamaguchi Prefecture (present-day Iwakuni City) in 1897. A pioneer female writer. Action was her way of living. She married 4 times and divorced 4 times, and was a woman of many loves, but her attitude towards literature was always sincere, leading to a dramatic life. She founded Japan's first fashion magazine, "Style," and was also active as a kimono designer. Her books on the happy way of life of the original "energetic and wonderful woman" became successive bestsellers, sparking the Chiyo Uno boom. She was honored as a Person of Cultural Merit in 1990. Major works include the novels "Irozange," "Ohan," "Sasu," "Bokushoku no Sakura," and essays such as "The Life I Live," "Happiness Brings Happiness," and "Straight Ahead to a Happy Life," as well as the mook "Chiyo Uno: A Woman's Life," and many others.
