Kissing Stars Over the Rising Sun
By Paige Etheridge
Miyako takes on a wild lifestyle that is the anthesis of everything Japan expects of her.
Emerging from the ashes of Post WWII Japan, the Pan Pan were born. Transforming themselves into the antitheses of what Japanese women were supposed to be; they were the loud, vulgar, and independent lovers of the American GIs occupying their land. For many of these Women of the Night, it became more about pleasure and riches than survival; burning brightly for a few years before being wiped out by the Japanese themselves. Nearly erased from history for being too wild.
This is the story of one of these women.
Her name is Miyako.
