Our Heritage, Our Roots

Our grandfather, Keisaburo Koda, was born in 1882 in the Fukushima prefecture of Japan. His father, formerly a samurai of the Taira Clan, became an established miller and broker of rice products. Earning a university degree, Keisaburo consequently secured a position as a school principal in his twenties. Familiar with stories of fellow countrymen journeying to America to seek their fortunes, Keisaburo eventually resigned to pursue his dreams.
