Review


This text explains things in an unobtrusive and friendly manner, all the while leading the way gently from problem to problem. I think that my own early pains might have been lessened if I had had such a text. from the Foreword by Edward Seidensticker, former Professor Emeritus of Japanese, Columbia University
