Abstract
NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) plans to televise Yae Neesima's story for a year, inspired by the fact she wasborn in Fukushima, an area of Japan particularly hard-hit after the March 11 earthquake. She is the wife of DoshishaUniversity founder Joseph Hardy Neesima and one of the first Protestant women in Japan, as well as decorated warnurse. I will describe her life as the "brave story of a pioneer."
