Why I Created This Journal
As the producer of Hachi: A Dog’s Tale, I was deeply moved by Hachiko’s true story. Years later, the experience became even more personal when I lost my own beloved dog, Hachi. I was heartbroken and unsure how to move forward.
Writing in a journal gave me a place to release some of my sadness while holding close the love and memories we shared. In time, it became a quiet source of comfort.
After the film, people from around the world shared stories of the dogs they had loved and lost. Their words reminded me how deeply this grief is felt—and inspired me to create a journal that might offer others the same space to remember, reflect, and begin healing.
Created with care, the Hachi Grief Release Journal offers gentle guidance and quiet space to help you:
Remember Cherished Moments – Guided prompts help you reflect on joyful memories and the unique bond you shared.
Create a Personal Memorial – Step-by-step instructions to design a meaningful place to honor your dog and feel close to their memory.
F ind support through Healing Practices – Use mindful exercises to help you move through the changing waves of grief.
Express What Is in Your Heart – Write letters, stories, and memories that keep your dog’s presence alive in your own words.
“Losing Hachi left a void in my heart. Writing helped me heal, step by step. I hope this journal brings you comfort and peace too."
