An Exchange diary (交換日記, Kōkan nikki?) is a notebook shared between friends, who take it in turns to write in their thoughts or other comments. Exchange diaries were especially popular in Japan in the 1990s in elementary and junior high schools, particularly among girls.
Famous quotes containing the words exchange and/or diary:
“Love is often nothing but a favorable exchange between two people who get the most of what they can expect, considering their value on the personality market.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“The diary is an art form just as much as the novel or the play. The diary simply requires a greater canvas.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
