The author wishes to express her grateful obligation to Mr. Masando Ono, who because or continued ill health was forced to abandon the idea or full collaboration but who loyally urged me to continue as planned; to Mr. Atsuharu Sakai my old friend and monitor on all things Japanese; and Mr. Shoshun Otake for his happy collaboration on the illustrations for this book.
