Emmanuel Pahud Flute Claudio Abbado Conductor Berliner Philharmoniker Paintings: Chihiro Iwasaki Tribute to my mother who loved Mozart and these paintings. She passed away in 1997. Chihiro Iwasaki was born on December 15, 1918, in Takefu, Fukui Prefecture (South of Japan), and moved to Tokyo the following year. She began to study sketching and oil painting at the age of fourteen, and Japanese calligraphy when she was eighteen. Her first work for children was a set of illustrated “paper-theatre” storytelling panels called Okasan no Hanashi (The Story of a Mother) in 1950, and in 1956, she created her first picture book, Hitori de Dekiru yo (I Can Do it All by Myself). She won many prizes, among them: Graphic Prize Fiera di Bologna for Kotori no Kuru Hi (The Pretty Bird) in 1971, and Bronze Medal of the Leipzig International Book Fair for Senka no Naka no Kodomo-tachi (Children in the Flames of War) in 1974.
