I disagree. You are underestimating the esteem and admiration that children of mixed ethnicity tend to get viewed with. I think your Japanese relatives would be happy to find out that a branch of their family continues to thrive in the US, and that the people on those branches are curious about the Murakamis back in the old country.I doubt my family in Japan would have anything to do with a "half breed"
None of my Samurai family emigrated from Japan except for my grandmother because she married my grandfather who was stationed in Japan. I doubt my family in Japan would have anything to do with a "half breed" (me) anyway since my grandmother has passed. Just trying to connect some links of family heirlooms passed down from family in Japan. If needed I can get pics of letters sent with a address and name in Japan.
Is there an "elite Samurai" family named Murakami?

Kind of like saying "My family arrived on the Mayflower" , sounds a bit snobbish to some.Just don't go overboard with the whole "elite samurai" thing.

You're probably way more uptight about it and fixated on your ethnic make-up than any of them are.
My children are "half breed" (a disgusting racist slur all, by the way) as you put it and it was never an issue with the in-laws whatsoever.
Lol. I'll try not to go overboard. The gifts that have been passed down are quite expensive and have a history.
Another thing, my grandmother's first name was Noriko, and from what I was told she graduated top honors from Tokyo university. Don't know what year, she was born in 1928 I think.
According to documents in Tokyo University, the number of female students in Tokyo University (Tokyo Imperial University at the time) was only one in 1941. (She was a postgraduate student, not an undergraduate student.) There were indeed several female 選科生, 聴講生, 専攻生 or 研究生 (not regular students but ones who took just a single or several classes), but the number of regular students was quite few before 1945 (two in the department of law, and one in the department of agriculture).Another thing, my grandmother's first name was Noriko, and from what I was told she graduated top honors from Tokyo university.

I'm not quite sure how they met, my father did tell me that my grandfather was on his knees and offered his head to my great grandfather who was standing over him holding a katana. He said he loved my grandmother with his life, so he approved of their marriage.Really? I guess in english it does sound pretty bad but I have seen quite a few people identify themselves or other people as ハーフ
It sounds like a good story. (I don't mean this in a non-believing way) I would be interested in hearing how your grandmother and grandfather met.
