About this work

It was almost 30 years ago, shortly after they married, that her husband struck out on his own and founded a construction company. Although the business now posts steady results, his good-naturedness meant they endured continuous financial struggles for a long time. “Being called the company president’s wife might sound nice, but there were times we couldn’t even pay for the children’s school lunches (laughs).” Their son, who once caused such embarrassing times, now works under his father as a proper successor, has married, and has given them the long-awaited grandchild. “Now there’s nothing left to do but enjoy the rest of our lives to the fullest, so I agreed to appear,” she says.
