Overview: Satoko Kizaki was born in 1939 in Shinkyo in Japanese-occupied Manchuria. At the age of five, she moved to Japan’s Toyama Prefecture, a place that was later to become the setting for her prizewinning novella “The Phoenix Tree.” Graduating from college with a degree in English, she married and lived in France and the United States for a total of 15 years with her husband, a plant physiologist. Her first story, “Barefoot,” written after her return to Japan in 1979, received Bungakukai Magazine’s annual Award for New Authors and was nominated for the coveted Akutagawa Prize in 1980. After her stories received consecutive yearly nominations for the prize (one of these was “Flame Trees”), “The Phoenix Tree” was awarded the Akutagawa Prize in 1985.
