| This book is the result of more than seven
years of research and investigation. The original manuscript is a thesis
paper presented for a Master of Arts degree to San Jose State University.
I attended San Jose State University from 1992 through 1998. I received my
Bachelor of Arts degree in 1995; my major was Social Science with a Minor
in Women�s Studies. I entered the graduate program of the Social Science
Department in 1996. My Master of Arts degree is in Social Science with an
Emphasis in Women�s Studies, which I received in May of 2003.
In addition to this manuscript I have added many family
pictures taken by my father, grandfather, and other relatives. I have also
worked jointly with my oldest brother Michael, who has produced the
Nishimuta Family website, nishimuta.net. Our aunt, Sister Mary Nishimuta, wrote
some very important letters which added greatly to our family history. I
hope that you enjoy reading this book as much as I have enjoyed learning
about my own family history.
