Il suo approccio colma il divario tra le complesse tensioni legali e l'esperienza umana universale nel navigare le relazioni.

La pazienza di Yaoyoi, della dolce e graziosa Yaoyoi, si è rotta oggi improvvisamente come un filo. Nell’ingresso di casa, davanti alla faccia insopportabilmente insolente di Kenji, il marito che ha dilapidato tutti i suoi risparmi, Yaoyoi si è tolta la cinghia dei pantaloni e l’ha stretta intorno al collo del disgraziato. Kenji ha tentato di afferrare la cintura, ma non ne ha avuto il tempo. La cinghia gli è penetrata subito nella carne. È stato buffo vedere come il collo di Kenji si sia piegato all’indietro e le mani abbiano cominciato ad annaspare disperatamente nell’aria. Sì, buffo, veramente buffo, poiché un uomo così, un infelice che beve e gioca, non si cura dei figli, è attratto da donne impossibili e picchia la moglie, non meritava certo di vivere! Le gambe abbandonate storte sul pavimento di cemento dell’ingresso, accasciato sulla soglia, la testa tutta girata, Kenji, a un certo punto, non si è mosso più. Yaoyoi gli ha messo allora una mano sul collo per sentire le pulsazioni. Niente. Sul davanti dei pantaloni ha visto una macchia bagnata. E ha riso, stupefatta della forza furiosa, della crudeltà di cui era stata capace. Ha riso anche quando Masako e Yoshie, le fedeli amiche, l’hanno aiutata trasportando il cadavere a casa di Masako, tagliandolo a pezzetti e gettando poi i resti in vari bidoni d’immondizia. Straordinario thriller che ha per protagoniste quattro amiche (la dolce e graziosa Yayoi, l’ intelligente e coraggiosa Masako, Yoshie, la madre angariata da una figlia capricciosa e da una suocera invalida, Kuniko, la trentenne derubata dal marito e minacciata da un usuraio) che si conoscono in una puzzolente fabbrica di cibi precotti e che scoprono insieme il gusto della rivolta e il fascino e il business del crimine, Le quattro casalinghe di Tokyo , come accade spesso nei buoni romanzi polizieschi, illumina ciò che accade in un mondo in cui la tradizione si rompe come la pazienza di Yaoyoi: improvvisamente come un filo.
