Several months ago I started a Substack called Masako’s Story, which is a running biography of my life partner Masako Tsubuku. Born to a Korean father and a Japanese mother who weren’t married, Masako had a rough childhood of poverty and discrimination, but besides being a moving (and often funny) tale of perseverance Masako’s Story also aims to be a close and vivid depiction of 1960s-70s Japan, which was coming into its own as a major economic power following the devastation of WWII.
