タイムスリップ・コンビナート (Taimu Surippu Konbināto)

Yoriko Shōno (born March 16, 1956) is a Japanese writer renowned for her avant-pop style blending private fiction, fantasy, metafiction, and social critique. She debuted in 1981 with "Gokuraku," winning the Gunzo New Writers Prize, and achieved fame in the 1990s by uniquely winning three major new writer prizes: the Noma Literary Prize for New Writers (1991, Nani mo Shitenai), Yukio Mishima Prize (1994, Ni Hyaku Kaiki), and Akutagawa Prize (1994, Time Slip Combinat), earning her the title of 'new writer's prize triple crown winner.' Her works often explore themes of gender, society, isolation, and mysticism, with later pieces incorporating political satire and personal illness narratives, such as her 2014 Noma Prize-winning memoir on mixed connective tissue disease.
