Curator's Comment
Prior to moving to the United States in the 1980s, Nauka Kushitani attended Tsuda University, a women’s school in Tokyo, Japan. In 2002, an alumni association memorialized Nauka in this reunion booklet with short essays about her life. Nauka’s sister, Eba—also a graduate of Tsuda—described Nauka as a “giver” in her essay. Eba wrote that when Nauka “found out that I had not prepared for the world history test for the college exam, she skillfully tutored me from ancient history to the present in less than a month.”
