When Orito and Nume were young children, their fathers, who were
good friends, decided that one day their children would be
betrothed. But before they marry, Orito is expected to complete his
education. While Orito studied at a Japanese university, he and
Nume remained good friends. But when his father makes plans for
Orito to complete his education in America, set to return after
eight years to marry Nume, she gets upset that Orito was leaving
her, especially since she heard the plan from her father rather
than Orito himself. Despite her disapproval, Orito goes to America
to attend Harvard University. Experiencing culture shock and
missing home, Orito feels out of place at first. But when he meets
Cleo, a passionate dancer, they immediately start falling for each
other, despite both of their engagements. As his time in America
increases, Orito struggles with the decision to break tradition and
stay with Cleo, or return home to marry Nume. Caught between
cultures, expectation, and passion, Orito must decide which is more
important to him. Miss Nume of Japan: a Japanese American Romance
by Onoto Watanna is a late 19th century romance that depicts a love
triangle alongside the cultural contrasts between Japan and
America. With beautiful descriptions, sympathetic characters, and a
compelling romance-driven storyline, Miss Nume of Japan: a Japanese
American Romance is entertaining while also providing intriguing
insight into early interactions and cultural differences between
Japan and the United States. First published in 1899, Miss Nume of
Japan: A Japanese American Romance is one of Onoto Watanna's
earliest works, and is rarely found in print. This special edition
features a stunning cover design and is printed in an easy-to-read
font. With these accommodations, this edition of Miss Nume of
Japan: A Japanese American Romance caters to contemporary readers
by restoring the novel to modern standards while preserving the
original intricacy of Onoto Watanna's work.
