As a long-time diplomat and wife of a Japanese, Juliana Antonova-Murata has had the opportunity to live in various places around the world - Germany, Russia, England, China, which she explores with curiosity and describes with love.
He has diplomatic specialisations in India and Croatia. However, her heart has always remained in Japan, where she still lives with her family. The author is Bulgarian by patriotism, cosmopolitan by upbringing and Japanese by spirit.
Her talent for finding an inspiring story in a seemingly small incident, her ability to speak to people in such a way that they reveal the depths of their hearts, and her gift for describing it as exquisitely as in a Japanese etching made her books Moshi Moshi, Japan, Uki Uki, Japan, and San San, Japan bestsellers.
From the short stories collected in her fourth book, Hai Hai, Japan, the reader can learn more about the land of the rising sun than some richly illustrated and most detailed travel guides. The author seeks not exotica and sensations, but glimpses into the very core of the Japanese soul.
