Her ancestors served the Makino clan, lord of Ushikubo Castle in Mikawa during the Sengoku period more than 500years ago, and passed through Joshu before being transferred to Echigo. They were the Samurai family for generations from the establishment of the Echigo Nagaoka domain until the end of the Edo period. Her great-great-grandfather, Hoshino Sadakata, died in battle in 1868 during the Hokuetsu Boshin War led by chief retainer Kawai Tsugunosuke. <1> Her grandfather was a classmate of the novelist Matsuoka Yuzuru and the French literature scholar Horiguchi Daigaku, both famous literary figures, at the old Nagaoka Middle School. As a result of this connection, during the Pacific War, Japan’s most famous novelist Natsume Soseki's daughter Fudeko, whom Matsuoka married, and Soseki's granddaughter evacuated from Tokyo to the Hoshinos family home. <1> Tomoko Hoshino went from Nagaoka Municipal Senju Elementary School to Nagaoka Municipal Minami Middle School, where one year above her was Masashi Hizaka, a novelist who would later become known for his historical novel "Tenchijin." She then went on to Niigata Prefectural Nagaoka High School, just like her grandfather and father. Weekly Asahi MOOK "Shiba Ryotaro II" (Hoshino Tomoko "Me and Shiba-san") Asahi Shimbun Publications, 2007 Mariko Hando’s book "Soseki's Nagajuban" (Bungeishunju, 2009) describes the old Hoshino family home, where she were evacuated during the war, as follows: "That year, there was a record amount of snowfall. The snow completely buried the two-story house, and people tripped over utility poles and wires, so the interior, with only a kotatsu for heating, was like a refrigerator covered in white walls, and it was dark even during the day. ... In the backyard, there were tall giant cedar trees, and many owls lived at the tops of the trees, and at night they hooted plaintively". A scene from the "Another Journey".
