Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawaii, 2002.

This dissertation is a case study of the Elizabeth Saunders Home, the largest orphanage in Japan primarily devoted to raising mixed-blood children. Using previously unavailable archival sources located on the premises of the Saunders Home, I trace the life courses of children, who grew up in the Home, from conception until adulthood to clarify our understanding of important issues about postwar Japan in areas ranging from gender and sex to identity to national policy. After the introductory overview, chapter two examines the relationships between the Japanese women and foreign men that produced mixed-blood orphans, and explains why many of the children ended up in the Saunders Home. Despite the opposition of the Occupation government and the Japanese government to creating special facilities for these mixed-blood children, Sawada Miki managed to create such an institution. The next chapter, an abbreviated biography of Sawada Miki, the founder of the Home, argues that Sawada's privileged childhood as the daughter of the second wealthiest private family in Japan, in combination with her overseas experiences as the wife of a Japanese ambassador, allowed her to create and operate this orphanage in the face of great resistance. Chapters four and five address the early institutional history of the Home and its relationship with both the local population and national government. Chapter six examines the childrearing methods used in the Home and explains how these children, whose family backgrounds and appearances contradicted widespread beliefs about “Japaneseness,” were socialized so that they functioned successfully as adults within Japanese society. Chapter seven explores Sawada's overseas fundraising efforts. These fundraising trips helped produce the exaggerated image of mixed-blood children in postwar Japan as an ostracized and victimized population.

520 $a Blood purity and family structure play a central role in discussions of Japanese national identity. Conventional wisdom, especially in the English-language literature, maintains that mixed-blood children threatened this identity and that they lived lives tarred by oppression and racism. This dissertation, one of the first explorations of the lives of mixed-blood children in Japan based on documentary evidence, argues that neither racism nor oppression defined the lives of this group.
