WHAT IS “ENIKKI” (ILLUSTRATED DIARY)?
In Japan we have a custom of creating “Enikki” (Illustrated Diaries) that portray daily events and thoughts in the form of a picture and a short essay. In an “Enikki” the author not only writes about things he/she has seen, heard, done or thought, but also describes his/her rich humanity and sensibility. Since pictures can transcend language and literacy boundaries, “Enikki” can be a very effective means for cross-cultural understanding.
