Iyo Araki

[8] In 1918-1919, Araki led a unit of Japanese nurses working at an American Red Cross hospital at Russian Island.

[10] In 1927-1928 she traveled again to the United States, on a fellowship from the Rockefeller Foundation,[11] to study American hospitals.

"Miss Araki is something of a national hero in her native country", noted The New York Times in 1927.

[12][13] Araki married Rudolf Teusler's assistant and successor as director at St. Luke's, Dr. Tokutarō Kubo, in 1935.

[15] In 1951 she was honored by the Church of Japan as one of Tokyo's "semicentenarians", marking more than fifty years since her baptism.
