model

the
popular
late
'60s
Japanese

Many
who

thinking

her.
The
reality
of
it,
though,
was
far
different.
In

we
talk
with
Kay
about
the
path
her
life
has
taken
and
her
thoughts
on

Tadashi
Ōishi
lost
his
hearing
when

suffered
the
unavoidable
pain
that
deaf
people
who
live

go
through.
Ōishi
says
that
he
began
to
take
the
anger
he
felt
at
being
bullied
at
school
out
on
his
mother.
However,
he
eventually
started
going
to
church
and,
at
the
age
of
46,
he
says
he
finally
understood
the
meaning
of
the
Cross
of
Christ.
In
this
program,

feature
some
of
the
poetry
that
Ōishi
published

Listening.

mother
and
his
faith
