The Production
The true life story of Yukitaka Osaki, the second son of a warrior-class family from Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
Yukitaka Osaki became a confidante and friend to William Gillette, who, at his death in 1937, bequeathed Osaki-San a place to live on his estate.
It was 1888 when Yukitaka and and his older brother Yukio
came to visit the US from Japan. Yukio went on to become a
leader in Japanese politics, and would give Washington D.C.
the famous Cherry trees.
Yukitaka, however, decided to stay.
Discover the story of the elusive brother behind the famous
politician. Osaki lived from the Victorian era through the
turn of the century and both World Wars. Poignant and life
affirming, here is what you may not know about Victorian
actor William Gillette, creator of the role of Sherlock Holmes
and the quiet soul who worked by his side.
In this approximately 45 minute presentation Taku Hirai brings to life the amazing story of Yukitaka Osaki, the second son of a warrior-class family from Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
Living history at its best!
