About The Author
Etsu Inagaki Sugimoto
Etsu Inagaki Sugimoto (1872-1950) was born in Nagaoka, the daughter of a high-ranking advisor to a powerful territorial lord, a few years after the Meiji Restoration ended Japan’s feudal system. Her father died when she was twelve; soon afterward, she became engaged to his friend Matsunosuke Sugimoto, a merchant living in the United States whom she had never met. Etsu arrived in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1898, and lived in College Hill. Later she lived in New York City, where she turned to literature and taught Japanese language, culture, and history at Columbia University.
