Manchurian Legacy: Synopsis (286 words) |
 | Kazuko Kuramoto was born and raised in Dairen, Manchuria, in 1927, at the peak of Japanese expansionism in Asia. |
| Dairen (Port Arthur) was an important colonial outpost on the Liaotung Peninsula because the train lines, established by Russia and taken over by the Japanese, ended there. |
| When Kuramoto's grandfather arrived in Dairen as a member of the Japanese police force shortly after the end of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, the family's belief in Japanese supremacy and its "divine" mission to "save" Asia from Western imperialists was firmly in place. |
