from the perspective of ordinary people, Naoko Takagi is a little short: "I didn't grow up when I reached 15cm, and it's been 15 years", said the short tall tree. When she painted her short experience, 15cm was just like our common "post-8s" logo, what a bright and best-selling symbol. The picture book "15cm life" painted according to the facts has made Naoko Takagi a Japanese "picture book queen". In just three years, her three most famous picture books are "15cm life", "Living alone for the fifth year" and "Going to Tokyo alone". Judging from the first two versions translated in mainland China, Living alone for the fifth year is better than 15cm life, although the latter is a famous work. "I try to describe what I saw and felt from a height of 15cm with pictures and texts", which is caused by pen and ink, including going to school, taking the tram, dressing up as an adult (listing "tops", "dresses" and "skirts" in different categories), and my work experience as a small man. I wrote my mouth by hand, and the life of a short little girl jumped from the paper, which was extremely real. But it's really strange. Why did such an ordinary story become popular? As the name implies, "Living alone for the 5th year" is the story of a girl who is only 15cm long, determined to get ahead, set out from her hometown of Mie Prefecture, and went to Tokyo for development-"drifting north" for five years (from the map, Tokyo is in the northeast of Mie Prefecture, and "drifting north" is almost there). If you paint your own life, there is still the unconventional word "15cm" as a signboard, then Naoko Takagi's five-year record of "drifting to the North" is really unexpected: it still faithfully depicts the life of a single young woman in Tokyo. In short, the "picture book" in this book is a teacher-like character who loves cooking, loves to visit the vegetable market, and clearly discounts the shops near her home; However, the "clumsy anti-theft law", escaping from reality by bathing time, and being afraid to watch horror movies show the true nature of the little girl; Changing the position of room furniture at three o'clock in the middle of the night and always drinking two glasses (beer) in summer are somewhat temperamental. All this is a living Naoko Takagi-however, where is the cartoonist who is known as the "Little Queen of Picture Books"? What kind of energy did the cartoonist named Naoko Takagi sell well and become popular? It can be said that "Living alone for the fifth year" does not avoid the description of real life. Truth means the inevitable exposure of some embarrassment or embarrassment in life. Such as illness, lack of money, which is inevitable for single people, Naoko Takagi naturally wrote about it generously. "The incredible relationship between money and me" is devoted to saving money-actively storing 5 yen coins in a piggy bank to cope with the problems of lack of money and unemployment at any time. Of course, it also includes daily bookkeeping-it ended in anticlimactic. In the movie "Human Comedy" directed by Taiwan Province director Hung Hung, the same single shoe store girl, after receiving her salary, puts the money into envelopes that say rent, savings and send it to her parents. In the Japanese film "Tokyo Sonata", the life of Taiwan Province girls in Tokyo is lonely and dreary, but on the whole, they can all show their artistry as works of art. In Naoko Takagi's picture books, the artistry is just the least. In a country that respects aesthetic feeling, explores the subtle charm of art most, and pays attention to the wind and cicada even in samurai movies, whether it is deliberately avoiding or not thinking about what art is at all, it is worth noting. Of course, there are seemingly ordinary but popular cartoons like Crayon Shinchan and Cherry Maruko in Japan, but to lead the trend, it seems that the right way is to follow the way of Fengcang Heye (Travel Notes), which is cool, cool, deconstructed and imaginative. In contrast, Naoko Takagi's cartoons lack these characteristics, "no technical content at all", even more childish and clumsy than Yoshito Usui's painting style. Or we can say that Naoko Takagi actually ascended the throne of a best-selling painter according to his own life, especially his "frugal and respectful" life with no literature and no lyric. Selling well naturally doesn't necessarily mean having artistic quality. However, in the name of art, we always hope that the great reputation is not just about ordinary life. Even in terms of rich modern city life (comic theme), although it won't reach the secluded realm of art, at least it should be as small as Haruki Murakami to meet the expectations of the general public, but we never thought that the working class like Kobayashi Takiji would appear in front of us. After all, we have read too much. When it comes to lifestyle, we must talk about empty words such as quality trends, and we must make works that are intellectually competitive (I can't list them one by one). Their existence in large numbers has caused readers to be surprised by Naoko Takagi's cartoons-or they can also be called surprises. They are so straightforward as Naoko Takagi's, so full of daily details, full of sweat and little joy. It really gives people a long-lost joy to read. It should be noted that this joy comes from the author's own joy in dealing with life. It is precisely this kind of mind that can discover a new world in ordinary life that puts an end to the feeling of sadness and self-pity derived from people's loneliness and loneliness. Perhaps the successful explanation of "Little Queen of Picture Books" lies in the most common things in Naoko Takagi's picture books, which contain touching and neglected characteristics.
