"Judaku" means Acceptance, but only if you were Japanese in December of 1963; an American Sailor penetrated that trust, and entered a closed society of nobility and notoriety.
Based on the true life experiences of the author, this is an unlikely story of love that reaches across cultures. Michael Renaud, the young American Navy sailor on his first tour of duty overseas, meets Akiko who is from a noble Japanese family with blood ties to the Imperial family. The passion they have for each other can not be quenched. Against the backdrop of 1960s Japan, with the memory of war still fresh in the minds of the older generation, is an emerging generation of young Japanese that wants to shed their cultural norms. The American sailor finds himself in the midst of this larger cultural shift that is happening, and he is able to become part of a society that few other foreigners ever see.
