Exchange Diary

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:

    “I live in my house as I live inside my skin: I know more beautiful, more ample, more sturdy and more picturesque skins: but it would seem to me unnatural to exchange them for mine.”
    —Primo Levi (1919–1987)

    “Most Gracious Queen, we thee implore
    To go away and sin no more,
    But if that effort be too great,
    To go away at any rate.”
    —Anonymous. “On Queen Caroline,” in Diary and Correspondence of Lord Colchester (1861)
