Your gift is amazing, transcending the language barrier.  This DD has Japanese characters in it – unfortunately, I cannot read it.  However, I found the following article posted today (they’re a day ahead) in which it mentions the same name in your DD and the place.  There is no mention of a book, though.  Is it related?  If so, I have no idea what to do with your information.

 

Couple held after boy dies of starvation

The Yomiuri Shimbun

A 28-year-old man and his common-law wife of Nagaokakyo, Kyoto Prefecture, were arrested early Monday on suspicion of starving the man's 3-year-old son to death, police said.

Mukomachi Police Station arrested Takamasa Sasaki, 28, who works in the trucking business, and Tomoko Nishimura, 39, who lives with him.

The police searched their home Monday morning.

According to the police, the couple did not give Sasaki's son, Takumu, sufficient food, resulting in his death Saturday night due to starvation. He weighed only seven kilograms and had several bruises on his face.

Nishimura told the police that the boy still needed diapers so she had disciplined him through beatings and by withholding food since mid-September.

Sasaki told the police that although he warned Nishimura that such treatment would kill the boy, she did not listen.

Nishimura rarely fed the boy between Sept. 21 to 28, and afterward provided only a light meal once every four or five days, as a result of which the boy become too weak to walk.

The boy's 6-year-old sister was picked up by the police in late March when she was found walking near her home before dawn. As she had bruises on her face, the police reported the case to the prefectural child consulting center in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto.

Crivl

CRM solutions provider Saratoga Systems has announced that the company has filed for a patent on a new technology that provides synchronization of complex heterogeneous databases in a fraction of the time of other solutions. This synchronizing technology works with any complex relational databases and can handle databases with millions of records and thousands of users. The patent-pending data synchronization technology was designed to make it easier to support remote and mobile database users, making Saratoga's CRIVl technology an attractive alternative to some "less nimble" CRM software competitors, and to software-as-service alternatives that are subject to outages or Web connectivity issues. According to the company, the real benefit of this patent-pending synchronization technology is faster synchronization speed. The latest release of Saratoga CRM has been tested handling SQL data synchronization at least seven times faster than previous versions. This will prove a boon to users with large database systems who need to keep their data current, but previously had to schedule synchronization over weekends or long periods, when users could not access the system.

The scribbles in the top right of the drawing are the Japanese characters for "Nagaoka". They don't look copied, they look natural.
