IDIOT DOOM SPIRAL - Word on the street is you went around the local hostel telling people that you're a police officer and that it would be *really* fucked up if you shot yourself in the head right in front of them. That's pretty high concept, if you ask me.

Yuriko Miyamoto was a writer and social activist associated with both the proletarian fiction and women's liberation movements. (She even spent time in prison before the Pacific War for her political views.) Much of her work is autobiographical and centers war, class, or gender. #witmonth

A black-and-white photo of Yuriko Miyamoto. Miyamoto is a serious-looking, heavy, middle-aged woman in a dark, patterned kimono with a light, floral patterned obituary. She's looking into the distance behind the camera, holding a pen or calligraphy brush, and sitting in front of a bookshelf.
