A rich and detailed autobiography of one Japanese woman's journey through life.
This autobiography describes a woman's attainment of enlightenment in modern Japan. Satomi Myodo rejected the traditional roles of good wife and wise mother, broke with her unhappy past, and followed her spiritual path beginning as the disciple of a Shinto priest.
