Speaking about the title, Princess Akiko of Mikasa said, “I thought people might wonder, ‘What does that mean?’ and be more inclined to pick up the book.” Samanosuke was a San’in Shiba dog, a traditional breed long found in Tottori, and had been by Princess Akiko’s side for nearly 12 years before passing away.

    This is the sort of news that probably wouldn’t hit the global news wires were it not about a Royal! I hope she does well with her book, but I probably will not buy it.

    La cousine de l’empereur porte une ravissante petite veste mais à mon goût,
    je me serai abstenue de porter cette broche !

    Pretty outfit; monochromatic underneath the jacket. The book sounds like it will help children (and others) understand jealousy of others. Chris

    Lovely outfit. Very appropriate for her to wear a dog pin. Hope she sells a lot of books.

    The title of this book is a play on a Japanese idiom meaning “to be bitten on the hand by one’s own dog,” which is similar to the English phrase “bite the hand that feeds you.”
    Here, “hand” is likely intentionally changed to “stomach” for a slightly absurd or humorous effect.

      I added that note because I thought the title might seem a bit strange ;)

    Wow! This is so interesting, she is a Author, how marvelous and well done to her. Its wonderful she is a animal lover, dogs at that! I hope she does really well with her book. This jacket is very interesting against the black of her ensemble. The dog brooch is a apt addition.
