Broadcaster Fujita Sayuri candidly shared her thoughts about the public's view of "voluntary single motherhood."
On the 29th, Sayuri uploaded several photos to her social account with the caption "took 753 photos with Zen."
The released photos show Sayuri wearing a kimono with her son Zen. The two hold hands affectionately and smile brightly. Sayuri explained, "In Japan, boys at age 3 and 5 wear kimonos for photos, and girls at age 3 and 7 wear kimonos for photos."
She continued, "These are Zen's 753 photos. And this is our family photo," adding, "Some people say Zen is pitiable because he has no father. They also say that having a child this way means the child won't be happy. Every time I hear that I neither deny it nor get upset; I just laugh it off. That's because I know other people's opinions mean nothing."
She added, "Even if people in the world say Zen is pitiable, if Zen is happy, that will be the right answer. You don't live to look happy to others; you live to be happy yourself. The answer is always by your side."
Meanwhile, Sayuri received donor sperm from a Japanese sperm bank, became pregnant while unmarried, and gave birth to her son Fujita Zen in November 2020. Since then the two appeared on KBS2's The Return of SUPERMAN and shared their daily life.
Below is Sayuri's full post.
Took 753 photos with Zen. In Japan, boys at age 3 and 5 wear kimonos for photos, and girls at age 3 and 7 wear kimonos for photos.
These are Zen's 753 photos. And this is our family photo.
Some people say Zen is pitiable because he has no father. They also say that having a child this way means the child won't be happy. Every time I hear that I neither deny it nor get upset; I just laugh it off. That's because I know other people's opinions mean nothing.
Even if people in the world say Zen is pitiable, if Zen is happy, that will be the right answer. You don't live to look happy to others; you live to be happy yourself.
The answer is always by your side.<
