This is an autobiography of a Japanese woman who has lived in three
countries: Japan, the United States, and Germany. She writes about
her life in Japan during the 1930s and 1940s, before and during
World War II, which is quite different from a modern Japan of
today. She came to the United States in 1953 to study sociology.
She relates her life of a student, with stories of fairy tale
existence and culture shocks. Then, with her husband, she moved to
Germany, where she lived for thirty-six years. She tells about her
life in Germany of postwar economic miracle period through the fall
of the Berlin Wall and thereafter. Ever curious, her mind
constantly compares Japan, the United States, and Germany through
her daily life, travels, and work experiences. The book deals with
her life of ups and downs. With her courage, optimism, and luck,
she has always come up from the downs.
