A Realistic MEIJI JAPAN Medical Exam - real physician, historian, mixed heritage reenactment. ASMR.

Welcome to a mixed race female physical exam in Meiji Japan! After six months of research, 3 hours writing, 7 hours filming, and 10 hours editing, I present to you my most personal ASMR yet. I am a mixed race descendent of the Japanese Uesugi clan, a physician, and a graduate from the top history program in the US. I wanted to imagine what it would be like for someone like me in 1890s Japan, and after much pain I present to you ASMR with paper sounds, whispering, crisp mouth sounds, soft spoken personal attention,
hypnotic hand movements, and so many other wonderful triggers. My FULL list of historical citations was too long to fit in this description so see the end of the video. Truncated resource list below. Happy Asian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

Finally, the stories described of Dr. Uesugi are true stories of my ancestor; the stories of mixed race illegitimacy are based on my father's birth.
