Victor M. Mori MD, a retired surgeon based in Hawaii, has gathered together information from historical texts, family documents, diaries and oral histories, as well as recent information emerging from contemporary scholars researching the history of the Japanese in Hawaii. The pieces in this book range from a personal memoir covering his youth and early adulthood to a series of historical accounts of the lives of several key figures of the extended Mori family, including Oguri Kozaburo, Dr. Iga Mori, Tasuku Harada, Ishiguro Isoji, Ken Harada and Ishiko Mori. His writing reflects an ongoing interest in the Mori family background and is illuminated by extensive travel to Japan and other parts of the world. The book also includes material written by Professors Sidney L. Gulick of Doshisha University and K. Kawachi of Kansaigakuin University.
