....Professor Nenzi in Japan....

On April 15th, Assistant Professor Laura Nenzi visited the home of Kurosawa Tokiko, a female political activist active in the 19th century, in a small village about 90 minutes outside Tokyo, Japan. Nenzi collected documents and met Kurosawa's 88 year old great great grandson. Nenzi was in Japan collecting data for her next project on Politics and Prophecy in 19th-century Japan. Her visit was featured in Ibaraki Shinbun on April 22, 2007. The title translates approximately as "Preserve Her Native Home at All Costs! Prof. Nenzi from the U.S. researching Kurosawa Tokiko - Her Visit to Shirosato to Collect Documents," and Professor Nenzi assures us that FIU is mentioned in the article!
