This is a second story about Masu Gate, a "modern" Japanese woman who came of age and grew up to be a professional self-liberated woman in the Taisho Democracy period of Japan. The first story about her, presented in The Otsuma Journal of Comparative Culture, Spring 2006, depicted her "modern girl" life as an apprentice novelist / literary critic and the Yomiuri Newspaper's junior reporter. This second story describes Masu's highest stage of prosperity, which may well be characterized as professional and international, gaining her professional and secular fame as a Western-fashion dressmaker, "internationally" married to an American professor of a distinguished college in Tokyo.
