The following text is adapted from Yone Noguchi’s 1914 memoir The Story of Yone Noguchi.
Noguchi is returning home after eleven years abroad.
I reached Tsushima, my native town, at evening. I frightened my old father at the station, who was actually trying to find me among some other people. There is no wonder that he could not recognise me; I must have changed a great deal.
