"Reformed Church missionary Christoper Noss (1869-1935) spent most of his career in the Tohoku region of Japan. His published and unpublished works provide some of the only English-language materials on a region neglected by most modern histories, and especially on Fukushima. [...] Noss was an opponent of American racism against Japan and a strong advocate for Japan—especially Tohoku—in the United States." (academia.edu).
