About the Authors
Minoru Noguchi, whose pen-name is Kaku Chu Noguchi, is a distinguished author, in the Orient. He has written thirty-five books -- novels, short stories, and essays. Five novels were done in Korean; two novels and an essay were written in English; the rest of his books, in Japanese.
Noguchi's first piece of fiction, Gagito (Famine Hell), appeared in 1993, and won the Kaizo Prize, a prestigious Japanese award. in 1954, his Ah, Chosen!, based on the Korean War, was a best seller. Hikage No Ko (Girl Who Never Saw the Sun), published in 1955, became a moving picture and a radio drama.
Everett Francis Briggs is a tenth-generation American, born in 1908. He comes from missionary stock, relatives serving in Japan, Korea, China, India, and Iran. Briggs himself was nine years a missionary in Japan. He was involved, on the periphery, in the endeavors of the two Maryknoll missioners who strove to avert Japan's entry into World War II, after Cordell Hull had "thrown the book at them." He served as professor of Japanese, in the U.S. Navy V-12 Training Program, and designed one of the early bombardment-warnings dropped on Japan, in the form of a green leaf.
Briggs has written haiku under the Japan3ese pen-names Satsuki Ame (Rain in May) and Korin (Lakewood), besides numerous contributions to English poetry journals. Of his fourteen prose works, eight were written in Japanese. His New Dawn in Japan, in English, was one of the earliest accounts of American internees, in wartime Japan.
