​Eri Eguchi

I am a Japanese writer specialising in animals and nature. I have written several children’s books and numerous articles for books and magazines.

​

One of my articles, originally written in Japanese for National Geographic about the forest of Meiji Shrine, was later translated and published in the French and Taiwanese editions.

​

I was awarded the 21st Japan Picture Book Prize for Yura Yura Chin-anago, which humorously depicts the daily life of garden eels in the aquarium.

​

My latest picture book, After a Whale Dies, won multiple awards in Japan and is included in The White Ravens 2025, a list published by the International Youth Library in Munich.
