How Samizu did not drown -from an account by her brother

  Editor's note: Samizu had verbally mentioned this incident, On Sept. 26, 1954, the Toya Maru, a Japanese commercial ferry, sank with great loss of life.  She noted that she herself had taken  the Toya Maru  across the Tsugeru Strait only a few days earlier.,to attend   the Women's College of Fine Arts in Tokyo    Madoka Matsuki recounted in the family memories of his father Satoru Matsuki:  "My oldest sister went to an art school for women, and I was sending her books from home. It was on the Toya Maru. The book was blistered by the water and came back later. Because of this, the Toya Maru incident and our relocation to Horobetsu left a very strong impression on me"
