My Journey to Authentic Self
Who I am, began when I left my country alone. I was 18 when I first stood up for myself. Growing up in the rural area of an island called Shikoku in Japan during the 1960s and 1970s, I was expected to obtain enough but not too much education to attract a prospective husband to provide me with a lovely home and comfort in exchange for performing as an exemplary housewife. Women's place was home where she takes care of her husband and children, everything to do with family matters while he works outside. It was the way of things, then, particularly in the countryside like where my family resided. My idea of my life didn't align with neither this societal expectation of a woman nor my parents' hopes and wishes for their daughter.
