About me

I was born and raised in Asakusa, one of Tokyo’s oldest districts. I later lived in the United States and earned a BA in History from San Francisco State University. My background allows me to move comfortably between Japanese and U.S. history, especially the Civil War. After more than forty years studying Tokyo’s past, I have developed a deep knowledge of the city as both a scholar and a local.
