ABSTRACT
The author turned sixty-four this year. She married into the Tsujimoto family at twenty and worked on the farm. When her husband died they had her marry his younger brother, so her present husband is two years younger than she. After they married, they went to the States to make money, and she worked as a chambermaid at a hotel in Seattle. When they had saved some money, they put out a stall in a market, sold vegetables for about ten years, and with the little money they had made we went back to Hiroshima when she was thirty-seven and opened a grocery store near Tsurumi Bridge. Since they had no children, they adopted an older brother’s daughter.
