Kato's husband has been laid off, and she works part-time at a supermarket to support two adult children. Haruka has survived cancer and wants to become a planarian in her next life. Izumi had a successful career, but now she sews toys and does not want to return to work. Fumio Yamamoto's stories unfold against the backdrop of Japan's “lost decade,” a time of fragile instability. Her heroines refuse to go with the flow and quietly rebel against the imposed roles. Everyone is faced with a choice between freedom and following the rules, between humility and trying to save themselves. Awarded the Naoki Prize in 2001, and now, a quarter of a century later, “Planaria" turns out to be consonant with the reader. .
