Daughters of the Samurai: A Journey from East to West and Back

 Janice P. Nimura

The true story of three small girls sent to America by the Japanese government in 1872. Raised in New Haven and Washington, DC for a decade, they returned to a homeland grown foreign to them in their absence, determined to improve women's education in Japan. An extraordinary lens through which to view Japan's rapid modernization and the birth of U.S.-Japan relations.
