Description

The American Diary of a Japanese Girl is the first English-language novel published in the United States by a Japanese writer.

Acquired for Frank Leslie's Illustrated Monthly Magazine by editor Ellery Sedgwick in 1901, it appeared in two excerpted instalments in November and December of that year with illustrations by Genjiro Yeto.

In 1902, it was published in book form by the New York firm of Frederick A.

Stokes. Marketed as the authentic diary of an 18-year-old female visitor to the United States named "Miss Morning Glory" (Asagao), it was in actuality the work of Yone Noguchi, who wrote it with the editorial assistance of Blanche Partington and Leonie Gilmour.
