Shinchosha Co., Ltd. Press release: September 2, 2025 To Members of the Press The special days of the magnificent Ishihara family, from their carefree and generous father, Shintaro, to their mother, Noriko, who surrounded her men with a love wider than the ocean, are now revealed. The relay essay series “The Ishihara Brothers” will be published on October 16th! From childhood memories to thoughts on marriage, work, and child-rearing, to the reality of caring for and caring for parents at the end of their lives, and inheritance, Nobuaki (eldest son), Yoshizumi (second son), Hirotaka (third son), and Nobuhiro (fourth son) each portray the daily life of a “Showa-era family” from their own perspectives. Inspired by a magazine article written by the four brothers about their mother, Noriko, Shinchosha will publish “The Ishihara Brothers” on October 16th. In this book, each brother writes about their experiences, memories, and thoughts on 11 family-related themes. There is a nine-year age gap between the four sons, so even though the theme is the same, the scenes they see and the stories they hear are all different. From the slightly unusual daily life of the Ishihara household, the love between family, parents and children, and siblings emerges. The father has a strong
personality, and the mother is devoted to her husband. One after another, episodes known only to family members appear. Furthermore, through the aging and death of the parents, the work makes us realize the bonds between father and son, mother and son, and siblings.
