After the Mukden Incident on September 18, 1931, Japan invaded China’s north-eastern provinces and established the puppet state of Manchukuo. In early November of the same year, at the age of 28, Hayashi Fumiko set out on her own on a journey to Paris where she would spend four months. Thanks to her earnings from the proceeds of Hōrōki (Diary of a Wanderer) she was able to afford a third-class ticket on the Trans-Siberian Railroad to Paris via Korea, Manchuria, Siberia, and Eastern Europe.
