Tamaki Daido (大道 珠貴, Daidō Tamaki, born 1966) is a Japanese writer. She has won the Kyushu Arts Festival Literary Prize, the Bunkamura Deux Magots Literary Prize, and the Akutagawa Prize.

Early life and education[edit]

Daido was born in Fukuoka, Japan and graduated from Fukuoka Central High School.[1] Her father worked for the Japan Self-Defense Forces.[2] She worked as a radio scriptwriter for several years before focusing on writing novels.[3]

Career[edit]

In 2000 her first published story Hadaka (, Naked) won the Kyushu Arts Festival Literary Prize and was nominated for the Akutagawa Prize, but did not win.[2][4] Two years later, after three more Akutagawa Prize nominations, Daido won the 128th Akutagawa Prize for Shoppai doraibu (しょっぱいドライブ, Salty Drive), a novel about a relationship between a younger woman and older man.[5][3] In 2005 Taeko Tomioka selected Daido as the winner of the Bunkamura Deux Magots Literary Prize for Kizuguchi ni wa uokka (傷口にはウオッカ, Vodka for Wounds).[6] An English translation of her short story "Milk" was published in the 2006 anthology "Inside" and Other Short Fiction.[7] Since 2011 Daido has contributed a regular column to the Asahi Shimbun.[8][9]

Daido has never married, and has claimed that marriage, children, or any particular sexual preference would constrain her ability to live her own life.[1][2][10]
