Frequently cited archival sources are abbreviated in the notes as follows:

SYOP  Sutematsu Yamakawa Oyama Papers

TCA    Tsuda College Archives

VSC    Vassar College Library Special Collections

YMA   Yale University Manuscripts and Archives

Newspapers and magazines of the period—especially the
Atlantic Monthly
,
Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper
,
Harper’s Weekly
, the
New York Times
, the
San Francisco Chronicle
, the Washington
Evening Star
, and
Daily National Republican
—provided important context for the world the girls encountered in America, including lavish coverage of the Iwakura Mission’s movements in 1872. Meiji periodicals—including the
Japan Weekly
Mail
, the
Japan Advertiser
, the
Far East
, and
Shinbun Zasshi
—also proved invaluable in their coverage of the three women after their return to Japan.
