TOKYO (AP) — Nobel literature laureate Kazuo Ishiguro left Japan at the age of 5, but some in the country of his birthplace are celebrating his roots. Ishiguro's former kindergarten teacher in Nagasaki said it's like a dream come true. Teruko Tanaka recalled to Japan's Kyodo News service that he was a quiet boy who liked to read books.
Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki but raised and educated in England. He was awarded the Nobel Prize on Thursday. Nagasaki Mayor Tomihisa Taue said he is proud that the city has a Nobel Prize winner who has kept Nagasaki close to his heart. Ishiguro's first novel describes the city soon after the U.S. atomic bomb attack in 1945.
