It was once said of the scientist and diplomat Jeffries Wyman that he tried to raise his children, after their mother's death, by writing them letters. In 1950, Wyman spent six months in Japan--giving scientific lectures, meeting notables, searching out traditional villages, and writing intense, keenly observant letters to his then-college-age children. Published for the first time, these letters offer a candid and startling depiction of Wyman's experience in postwar Japan. His letters to his daughter Anne offer an unusual perspective on Japan at a time when most Americans there got a far less intimate view of Japanese life. Wyman embraced the culture of a country that welcomed him, from the lowliest peasants to the Emperor--a country where his epiphany in a tea garden would later define the future of allosteric biochemistry.
