		Kazuko Kuramoto was born and raised in Dairen, Manchuria, in 1927, at the peak of Japanese expansionism in Asia.
		Dairen and the neighboring Port Arthur were important colonial outposts on the Liaotung Peninsula; the train lines established by Russia and taken over by the Japanese, ended there.
		And, because Manchuria was, in essence, a Japanese frontier, her family lived a freer and more luxurious life than they would have in Japan—one relatively unscathed by the war until after the surrender.

	Manchurian Legacy: Synopsis
		Dairen (Port Arthur) was an important colonial outpost on the Liaotung Peninsula because the train lines, established by Russia and taken over by the Japanese, ended there.
		When Kuramoto's grandfather arrived in Dairen as a member of the Japanese police force shortly after the end of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, the family's belief in Japanese supremacy and its "divine" mission to "save" Asia from Western imperialists was firmly in place.
		Manchurian Legacy is the story of her family's life in Dairen, their survival as a forgotten people during the battle to reclaim Manchuria waged by Russia, China, and Korea, and their subsequent repatriation to a devastated Japan.

	Russian Invasion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The invasion of the Russian army into Manchuria in the summer of 1900 following the attacks by the Boxers gave considerable impetus to the circulation of roubles because of the large amount of payments that had to be made.
		Manchuria had been developing with the colonisation of Chinese from mainland China; those immigrants imported their own daily consumption goods and their agricultural implements from the mainland.
		This caused a constant trade deficit in Manchuria, which meant that real currencies like silver bars, silver coin or copper coin were exported to the mainland, because only those real currencies were accepted by the exporters from the mainland.
