Description: From the book jacket:  "The marriage of Merrell Vories, young American architect, and Maki Hitotsuyanagi, daughter of a Japanese nobleman, was remarkable from the very beginning.  For never before had a member of the Imperial Household been permitted to marry a foreigner.  Maki renounced her noble birh and gave up a life of wealth--in exchange for a life of love and accomplishment.  For Merrell and Maki had much in common:  a belief in Christianity and a desire to help the people of Japan."
