Although she was not drawn into such intense discussions as a young girl, she carries vivid memories of her maternal grandmother and great-grandmother being engaged in them and of "so much commotion" in the clan whenever there were changes in the Japanese cabinet.
A familiar undercurrent of those overheard conversations of her elders was their intense antimilitary stance, since her great-grandfather, Prime Minister Tsuyoshi Inukai, had been assassinated by young naval officers during the May 15 Incident of 1932.
Prime Minister Inukai’s daughter had married Kenkichi Yoshizawa, who thus became Sadako’s grandfather; her own mother was the eldest of his nine children.
