  • <p>Books are not merely stories to be read and forgotten. Rather they are the vehicle that transports us to an era or place that may have accumulated the dust of time. The novel The Daughters of the is a true story of the three Japanese girls who were sent to America to learn their modern American ways and come back to fulfil their mission to educate the Japanese women back home. This was an initiative taken by the Japanese Government that felt that women empowerment would come only by the western understanding of women's education and the opportunities that have been provided to them. These women had certainly made a mark when it comes to revolutionizing the cause of women in Japan.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

  • <p>"So I drifted on from week to week, occasionally having to remind myself that, even in America, the ‘eyelids of a samurai know not moisture’…”</p> <p>First published in 1925, A Daughter of the Samurai is a delicate memoir of the author’s childhood growing up in feudal Japan, and later life in America.

After her brother runs away to America to escape an arranged marriage, the burden of family expectation falls to Etsu.

  • <p>The autobiographical first novel by Etsu Inagaki Sugimoto, "A Daughter of the Samurai" tells the incredible true story of a young girl born into a high-status family in Nagaoka, Japan whose father, a samurai, is stripped of his power when the feudal system in Japan collapses and his family is thrown into turmoil and uncertainty.</p> <p>Originally destined to become a priestess, young Etsu is instead betrothed to a wealthy Japanese merchant in Cincinnati, Ohio and makes the unlikely and culturally jarring journey from the Japanese countryside to the American Midwest during the 1880's.</p> <p>Hailed by critics upon its original release, "A Daughter of the Samurai" is a fascinating, one-of-a-kind glimpse into a forgotten age.

  • <p>A Daughter of the Samurai tells the true story of a samurai and #39;s daughter, brought up in the strict traditions of feudal Japan, who was sent to America to meet her future husband. An engrossing, haunting tale that gives us insight into an almost forgotten age. Madam Sugimoto was born in Japan, not in the sunny southern part of the country which has given it the name of "The Land of Flowers," but in the northern province of Echigo which is bleak and cold and so cut off from the rest of the country by mountains that in times past it had been considered fit only for political prisoners or exiles. Her father was a Samurai, with high ideals of what was expected of a Samurai and #39;s family. His hopes were concentrated in his son until the son refused to marry the girl for whom he was destined and ran off to America. After that all that was meant for him fell to the lot of the little wavy-haired Etsu who writes here so delightfully of the things that happened in their childhood...

  • <p><em>A Daughter of the Samurai</em> (1925) is an autobiography by Etsu Inagaki Sugimoto. Born in Japan, she was sent to the United States to fulfill an arranged marriage with a Japanese merchant. Raised in a family whose prominence had fallen toward the end of the feudal era, Sugimoto gained a unique perspective on Japanese life that would shape her literary career and outlook as a professor at New York’s Columbia University. “Japan is often called by foreign people a land of sunshine and cherry blossoms. […] In the province of Echigo, where was my home, winter usually began with a heavy snow which came down fast and steady until only the thick, round ridge-poles of our thatched roofs could be seen.” Born and raised in a northern province of Japan, Etsu Inagaki Sugimoto came from a family of high-ranking samurai officials. Originally prepared to live as a priestess, Etsu became the center of her father’s attention when her brother eloped and left for America. No longer finan...

  • <p>Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The girls were taken to meet the Empress of Japan, who was seated behind a bamboo screen. They knelt and placed their hands on the tatami floor, bowing until their foreheads touched their fingertips. #2 The girls were told that when schools for girls were established, they would be examples to their countrywomen. They had no idea what they were getting into, but they knew they had to obey the empress’s commands. #3 Sutematsu Yamakawa, the middle child, was born in 1860. She was the last member of her family to live in a samurai family compound. The garden surrounding the compound was the only decorative element missing from the interiors. #4 The samurai were a hereditary warrior class, and they contributed nothing to the Japanese economy. They administered public life and cultivated the arts of war and of peace. They were loyal to a high code of loyalty and honor.</p>画面が切り替わりま...

  • <p><em>A Daughter of the Samurai</em> offers an elegant account of a world that had all but vanished by the time Etsu Inagaki Sugimoto put pen to paper. In her beguiling memoir Sugimoto chronicles her childhood in the frozen Nagaoka region of Japan, where she grows up in a high-ranking samurai family in the aftermath of the Meiji Restoration that stripped the samurai class of many of its privileges. Although originally destined to be a Buddhist priestess, at the age of twelve she becomes engaged by family arrangement to a Japanese merchant in Cincinnati, Ohio. To prepare for her new life in the United States Etsu attends a Methodist school in Tokyo where she studies English. In 1898 she boards a ship and leaves the only land she has ever known. An emissary of her native culture even while she is fascinated by American customs, Sugimoto keenly observes the two worlds she inhabits. Sugimoto's profound, poignant, and sometimes wry perceptions continue to resonate with authenticit...
