Introduction to Kito Aya and Her Diary


[ All this picture found in her book "1 Litre Of Tears".]

木藤亜也(Aya Kito)(July 1962 - May 23, 1988) went into eternal sleep at the age of 26, surrounded by flowers as she wished and left on her journey. Her diary, namely 1リットルの涙(1 litre of tears) was then published after her death and series was too filmed based on her real life story which is recorded in her diaries.

Aya Kito was diagnosed with a disease called Spinocerebellar ataxia when she was 15 years old. The disease causes the person to lose control over their body, but because the person can retain all mental ability the disease acts as a prison. Aya discovers this disastrous news as the disease has already developed. There is no cure. Through family, medical examinations and rehabilitations, and finally succumbing to the disease, Aya must cope with the disease and live on with life until her death at the age of 26.
