"Tears of Mary" became the best-selling book of the month for several months in the largest Christian bookstore in Japan located in Ginza, Tokyo (Kyobunkan) and it has since been the best-selling book constantly in the Online Shop of Kyobunkan in the genre of Christian literature, play, and movie.    

It may not be such a big achievement considering the fact that Christian population in Japan accounts for less than 1 % of the entire population, but I as a writer am happy and honored to receive such a recognition.

 Poet So Terada introduced the work in the Book Review of “Weekly Dokusho-jin” while Shinkan Radio introduced the prologue of “Tears of Mary” in the form of radio drama. http://www.sinkan.jp/radio/radio_1374.html
