Amy Stanley, Joy Osmanski (Narrator), "Stranger in the Shogun's City: A Japanese Woman and Her World"
With Tsuneno as our guide, we experience the drama and excitement of Edo just prior to the arrival of American Commodore Perryâs fleet, which transformed Japan. During this pivotal moment in Japanese history, Tsuneno bounces from tenement to tenement, marries a masterless samurai, and eventually enters the service of a famous city magistrate. Tsunenoâs life provides a window into 19th-century Japanese culture - and a rare view of an extraordinary woman who sacrificed her family and her reputation to make a new life for herself, in defiance of social conventions.
