Description
A Daughter of the Samurai offers an elegant account of a world that had all but vanished by the time Etsu Inagaki Sugimoto put pen to paper. Born into a high-ranking samurai family in Japan, Sugimoto chronicles her childhood in the frozen Nagaoka region and her subsequent engagement to a Japanese merchant in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1898, Sugimoto boards a ship to leave behind the only land she has ever known, embarking on a journey that will take her to America. As an emissary of her native culture, she keenly observes the two worlds she inhabits, weaving together poignant and wry perceptions that continue to resonate with authenticity and insight. This memoir is a profound and moving account of identity, culture, and belonging, written by the author herself in a biographical note included within.
