"David Mas Masumoto (1954- ) is an organic farmer and the author of ten books including Heirlooms , Letters to the Valley , Four Seasons in Five Senses , Harvest Son , and Epitaph for a Peach . A third generation farmer, Masumoto grows peaches, nectarines, grapes and raisins on an organic 80 acre farm south of Fresno, California; 40 acres of that farm was originally purchased in 1948 by his Nisei parents, Takashi "Joe" Masumoto and Carole Yukino Sugimoto, who met at the Gila River in Arizona, and married shortly after the war. Masumoto was born in 1954 in Del Rey, California, the youngest of three children. In 1972, Masumoto left the Central Valley to study sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. He took a three year hiatus from school to live and study in Japan, which allowed him to make the journey to Kumamoto prefecture to live in the village of his grandparents and work on their rice farm. He returned to California in 1975, and graduated the following year. After undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley, a master's degree in community development from UC Davis, and additional studies at International University in Tokyo, Japan, Masumoto decided to return home to work on his family's farm and began writing."
